Location
This photo was taken in Venice,Italy.Time
The day had been mostly windy and rainy, but toward the end, the storm had moved on and the sun came out for a brief period.Lighting
The lighting was natural as the storm ended and the sun chased away most of it while lighting up the remainders.Equipment
This image was capture with a Panasonic pocket zoom, hand-held, no flash.Inspiration
The location is always beautiful, but I felt lucky to be present as this marvelous natural light illuminated this classic scene.Editing
Yes. Small amount of cropping and sharpening, some color boost, that's about it.In my camera bag
When traveling overseas, I try to keep it light. At the time this was taken, my go-to was this small Lumix-lensed Panasonic.Feedback
As we hear so often, "timing is of the essence." When traveling by foot and rail, one does not often have time to select the perfect point of view, or perspective. I try to make up for this by shooting a lot of images... not quite the spray and pray approach, but being alert for compositional opportunities is helpful.
