It rained on an arachnids web. Instead of catching the fly, the web caught my eye.

Behind The Lens

Location

This particular photograph was taken in my friends living room. The power had gone out due to a lightning storm so we decided to collect all the candles which were scattered all over her apartment. Since I was not certain where exactly to search for the candles, I asked her to bring me what she had, and that I would light is up. So as I was waiting for more and more candles, I had some time to kill so I decided to do up a photoshoot on her coffee table. Turned out to light up my day even after the storm. Thanks! Cheers.

Time

This photo was taken at approximately dinnet time, so I would say 5 o'clock-ish.(Ha, if you must know, it was a Sunday.) Our food was put on hold til the latter part of the evening due to the storm that had cut off our power for a while.

Lighting

The only actual "lighting" in this photograph was the candlelight. The power was out for a five block radius, so the only way one could see would be to have a flashlight or in our case, good ol' variety candles.

Equipment

I utilised my cellular for this shot. It had a cracked screen and no flash due to low battery.

Inspiration

I love taking a variety of photos with different lighting techniques. I had some time waiting for my friend to bring me all her candles, so like I said, I decided to have a mini-candle-photoshoot.

Editing

If I understood a little more of what post-processing actually meant, I could probably answer this question a little better. Neeeext please;)

In my camera bag

My cellular which has a cracked screen and 8 megapixels.

Feedback

It does not matter how fancy-schmancy your equipment is although, I'm quite certain it could help, it matters on who is behind the lens. Pictures can be taken anywhere! There is never not a time to capture an image. You can worry about the editing later. Sometimes, you only have a small window of photo-op, so take the darn picture already! What are you waiting for?
