Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken back in 2015, on my way to a U2 concert in Montjuic, Barcelona, Spain. I like spontaneous pictures, so I did this one because the background was looking awesome.

Time

We went earlier to the concert and since we were waiting outside and this part of the city has amazing sunsets, I just tried to capture the light between the towers, avoiding the sun showing completely in order to blind the photo. I took the shot on ?October 11,?2015 at ??03:53:15 p.m.

Lighting

As I said, the background was already perfect for a great shot, the scale of the Antenna, this lightning chimneys and the persons around just made me take the photo, capturing the sun rays light between the chimneys and showing how a very natural sunset can dance perfectly with the architecture.

Equipment

This was shot on an Iphone 5, that was all I had at that time, so imagine what I could do with something better. No other equipment was involved.

Inspiration

The inspiration for this photo, as my other photos, is being in the correct place, at the correct time, but without any scheduling, just be spontaneous on what mother nature and great architecture places can offer to you, and take the best shot you can to represent that moment so other can experience it.

Editing

The only thing I had to do with this picture was use an IG template and working on the light mostly, so I can enhanced the foreground without sacrificing the background.

In my camera bag

I would like to buy a professional camera, but as I wait for that momento, the only thing that I now have is my Samsung S8, where I now can take better pictures in spontaneous moments.

Feedback

Every time you go to a new place, try to see around and work with different planes so you can picture what you are looking for. In my case, I like how architecture and thing mix with nature, so I tried to capture this moments, always considering light in the first place.
