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 a possible victory taste very sweet. Good luck and probably for the … time: Happy New Year and stay healthy in 2021!

Behind The Lens

Location

It was while on vacation one year in Portugal. While returning to our accommodations in Lisbon, after a full and eventful day, we crossed this intersection. All it took was a slight glance to the side to spot this incredible photo opportunity. Having a camera on hand every minute certainly has it’s advantages.

Time

While I don’t recall the exact time this photograph was taken it was very late in the evening and likely close to midnight.

Lighting

All the lighting seen here was as is for this area of Lisbon. It turned out to be exactly what the moment called for!

Equipment

All that was required was an iPhone. Sometimes the most basic of equipment yields incredible results!

Inspiration

This photo was purely the product of chance. It was a scene where instantly upon realizing an opportunity you have to seize it.

Editing

As commonly done with so many of my photos the contrast was increased slightly. No other alterations were needed.

In my camera bag

If I can remember to keep my iPhone fully charged in a pocket then I’m good for the day wherever I am.

Feedback

Always keep some type of camera handy. No need to worry about how expensive the gear is; making the most of each opportunity is what really counts.
