Behind The Lens

Location

This photograph was taken in the achingly lovely Palolem, Goa, in the “Crow’s Nest”, where we had cool, shanty-shack digs amongst a large and growing family of crows, roosting in the palms.

Time

The sun sets early in the tropics, around “beer time”... :) (There is another shot taken in the same sitting of this view through some Kingfisher glasses!)

Lighting

In my opinion the light in India is “special”, only adding to my further opinion that India is the most photogenic country in the world!

Equipment

A poxy Sony phone, haha... I have only recently succumbed to a slow-growing desire for a “proper” camera ... what a relief!

Inspiration

Joy! In reality, our beaming smiles reflected this beautiful sunset with a similar brilliance...

Editing

No, straight off the black box...

In my camera bag

Nowadays, my dog lead in the back pouch of my padded bag with camera and 3 lenses. On this, I wonder how other people manage swapping lenses on the hoof?! I would be interested to hear commentary on this....

Feedback

Seize the moment...! A different experience with a phone, as opposed a DSLR, when you appreciate, through the viewfinder, the fleetingness of the moment and learn to HIT THAT BUTTON! But, after all, I guess the key to a good shot is finding a good subject, beautiful light ... and a bit of curiosity.
