Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my bedroom.

Time

It was the evening and I was laying on the bed, trying to see if my glasses were dirty or rather scratched so I took them off to look at them.

Lighting

At that moment I realized that the angle has created an interesting optical illusion, mirroring the ceiling lamp. It was rather complicated to maintain this angle since I really cannot see well without my glasses, which, in fact, I was holding in my hand.

Equipment

However, I managed to balance the phone in one hand and take a series of pictures, which I scrutinized once my glasses were back on. This one was the definite winner.

Inspiration

I had no plan to capture a photo like this, it was more of a lucky spur of the moment.

Editing

I've decided to post in on Instagram so I applied a light filter to emphasize the contours and add contrast.

In my camera bag

I used to shoot with Canon, but lately my photos are done almost exclusively with my phone camera.

Feedback

This photo is a result of one of those lucky moments where all the aspects get together to provide a great shot.
