Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during a hot air balloon ride over the Goreme Valley in Cappadocia, Turkey.

Time

It was probably sometime around 6:00 or 7:00 am since we took off at around 5:30 am...it was freezing cold, but that didn't matter as the views were just spectacular.

Lighting

This is the result of all natural lighting and playing with the angles.

Equipment

All of my pictures I shoot with my phone; this time it was a Google Pixel 3.

Inspiration

How could I not take this photo? They don't call Cappadocia "Wallpaper paradise" for nothing. I guess just being there was so surreal, this was a mother-daughter trip, first time traveling alone with my mom for holidays and I wanted to make sure I captured as many moments as I could. Interestingly enough, we were both terrified of doing the hot air balloon ride as we both fear heights!

Editing

None.

In my camera bag

Just my phone.

Feedback

Have fun with it. Don't try to force the perfect shot, just let your feelings guide you into capturing what you would love for others to experience when they look at your photos.
