Location
The Moon was shot from my home terrace, across the Lake Ohrid. Can't be easier!Time
Date/Time Original is-was 30-Oct-20 at 16:42:31... that is, this is when the final form was made, while the Moon was obviously shot in the night.Lighting
The Moonwas remembered in Exif thus: Shutter Speed: 1/60 sec, F-Number: f/6.5, ISO 640, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00 eV, Metering Mode: Pattern, Flash Off, Focal Length: 258 mm, White Balance Details: Auto.Equipment
The Moon was photographed using Nikon COOLPIX P610, the rest was sketched-in...Inspiration
Well, looking at the Moon is always nice, especially when it appears big and fat like this, so I often take yet another shot - since not even the Moon will look the same twice. The Covid... we are literally bombarded with information on any media, day in and day out, so it's always on our minds. So it does not take much inspiration to connect the two impressions.Editing
I did the whole in ACDSee, by masking the area of the moon image and making the mask of the mask (!) and turning the masked area into its negative. Adding the text and little Covid drawings wass easy. No big deal, all together. The final image was cropped to this frame, and the reduced copy uploaded... That's all.In my camera bag
To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!Feedback
Use your imagination and create! Start from any properly shot and technically correct photo, and enjoy! :) Above all, stay safe!
