Behind The Lens

Location

This is a farm in Sintra Portugal, where I have my favourite things in life, the plants and animals. My four legged family and love to catch these moments as each day is different and unique especially in this area, but catching it on FILM as they used to say back in the day

Time

This was taken close to magic hour at the end of the day, where the golden rays of the Sun begin to shine and at a low angle

Lighting

All natural, putting my self in the shade. Iso 100, and a slow shutter speed

Equipment

Nothing but pro mode on my old Huawei phone

Inspiration

Mostly due to the colours, The stillness of the water mirroring the old stone wall and vegetation and the algae to really was calling for it

Editing

little contrast and a touch of saturation, just sharpening it up a bit and that was it

In my camera bag

This faithful phone as my lumix died on me and the nikonD70s limited addition was stolen. Since then have not been able to afford another camera

Feedback

It's all in the moment of the lighting as am not a fan of doing much post touches. Finding that angle that just takes your breath away or says here this is the spot and now if there are no moving parts it's taking in that breath and holding the finger to trigger the shutter at that precise moment so you don't lose it cause the sun at this point moves fast and before you know it, it's gone.
