Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken during our round trip of New England in 2019 on the USS Constitution, Boston, MATime
In Boston we visited the USS Constitution Museum. In the afternoon we went on board. While my spouse was talking to a member of the crew I took the time to take pictures of the ship and in particular details.Lighting
It was a bright shining day.Equipment
The photo was shot on a Fufjifilm X-T3 with a Fujinon XF 16-55 mm F2.8Inspiration
There are a lot of possibilities on an old vessel to take pictures. The warm color of the wood, the repetition of the vertical lines and the structure of the ropes appealed to me.Editing
I tried to accentuated the colors of the wood and the caracter of the ropes in Lightroom but it did not got the result I wanted. As a precaution I took that day 3 pictures with different exposures (-1/0/+1). These 3 pictures were combined in Aurora 2019 to one HDR picture and there were the colors and structure I wanted in this picture.In my camera bag
The equipment I normally have in my bag, depends if I am travelling in Belgium or abroad. When I am in a foreign country, I usually have my Fujifilm X-T3 with the Fujinon XF 16-55mm and the Laowa 9mm (with a big stopper) in my bag. That way I am travelling light and able to take a broad range of pictures.Feedback
Repetition and lines are always good eye catchers. Combine it with warm colors and people will like it.
