Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in 'Casco Viejo' (old town) or 'Zazpikaleak' (the seven streets), a neighborhood in Bilbao, Spain. There are plenty of bars, restaurants and shops. Is always full of life, full of people, full of stories. What I like the most about this neighborhood is that is like a labyrinth. It is formed by seven streets that used to be the main streets of Bilbao in the old times. All these lead to the main plaza of the neighborhood. You wouldn't get out of the seven streets, is a magical place.

Time

It was after having a great meal in a sunny restaurant patio, around 3pm.

Lighting

The high buildings and the sun in this place gave me the perfect amount of lights and shadows.

Equipment

Shot with Sony Alpha 6300, sony lens 16-55mm/3.5f

Inspiration

What inspired me to take this photo was the people and the way they are acting, their naturality, their humanity. People being people.

Editing

I did some basic editing in Photoshop CS6 to get the perfect touch.

In my camera bag

What I always carry with me is my tripod, my Sony Alpha 6300, and my favourite lenses; 16-55mm / 55-200mm / 30mm macrolens.

Feedback

Look for regular people in regular situations.
