Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in Buscalan, in the province of Kalinga, Philippines. I am a photography enthusiast and I get inspired when people appreciate my photos.Time
This was taken on May 16, 2019, at 6:11 AM. I never imagined that I will be able capture this beautiful photo. I just love the scenery of the field and mountain that morning. Sunrise warms me after a cold dark knight. After I took the shot, we experienced the famous Buscalan Coffee while enjoying a moment with my friends.Lighting
I wanted this image to look warmer while capturing the sun rays casting shadows in the mountain range. I think I succeeded in preserving this beautiful scenery in Buscalan through my lens.Equipment
This was shot on a mirrorless Fujifilm X-A10 using a 16-50mm kit lens.Inspiration
I normally walk around and take photos of the places I visit. I was mesmerized by the rice field, the mountain, and the sunrise. I wanted to take that stunning memory of that with me so I decided to take a shot with my camera using the principles I learned in photographing landscapes.Editing
Yes, I normally process my photos to look more realistic. Most of the raw files are quite dull in colors though Fujifilm gives more vibrant colors than the other brands. I used camera raw to process my photo.In my camera bag
The first thing I always pack is my mirrorless camera together with a lens wet wipes just in case I need to clean it when needed. I then pack my extra battery and extra memory card for those times when you can't help but take lots of amazing photos of the places I visit. Last but not least, I never forget to bring my selfie stick and a tripod.Feedback
The mountains and fields are very beautiful during sunrise and sunset. One of the things I learned in capturing a landscape is leading lines and the diversity of colors. Proper timing and have more patience in capturing your subject.
