You have given 2020 a positive swing that is really (nice) positive, a contribution to the Year 2020 Collection. As always, the competition will be tough, which, as an added consequence, makes the victory taste very sweet. Good luck.

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at sunrise in Bastei Bridge, Germany

Time

I set the alarm for 6 a.m. in the middle of a cold October. I was in a small hotel 15 minutes from the bridge. I remember putting a lot of warm clothes, go down stairs, open the door and at the first moment I saw my van I knew that I had to rush if I wanted to capture the sunrise light. The windows of my van were completely frozen, so between taking all the frost out and drive to the place, 30 minutes pass. I arrive at 6:30 a.m. and the light was still amazing (it was a close but i manage to see the sunrise).

Lighting

There is nothing comparing to the lighting in the morning. But is tricky, because you have to find the right spot to take the photo, measuring correctly the light without that amazing brightness disappears.

Equipment

Normally I use a Canon 550D, but on this trip I was working and I didn't have a chance to bring it. So this particular photo was taken with my phone that was a Leica Camera.

Inspiration

Everything was so beautiful, I only took a few photos in that place. Most of the time I was just staring to the complex view and the simplistic light of the sunrise. I remember that in the middle of that spot, I wasn't cold anymore. I took that picture to have a piece of that feeling,

Editing

Most of my post editing work is done in Lightroom. I don't do much, just adjust the levels, pout a little bit of contrast and the whites.

In my camera bag

I don't travel with much. My phone, my Canon 550D, 50mm and a 24-70 mm.

Feedback

The thing that makes me to continue to capture the outside world is to share my vision, the way I see. And that is my advice, to keep the truth to yourself, to let the camera be your eye, to wait for the right moment.
