Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken from the entrance to the Castle - Fortress of the city of Xativa. With the view towards the so-called major castle. The fortress consists of 2 castles, the major and the minor.

Time

The photo was taken during a Sunday walk up the castle mountain. I arrived around 12 noon at the castle gate. The photo was taken on November 21, 2021.

Lighting

That day in the morning came out with a few clouds, which I took advantage of since they diffused the sunlight, leaving the light very soft.

Equipment

Going for a hike, I took as little equipment as possible, so I took the Olympus OMD E-M1X and the M.zuiko 12-40 f2.8.

Inspiration

In this case, it is a photo that I have taken many times, but this day I was motivated by the light caused by the clouds.

Editing

Yes, I developed it in Capture One correcting the line distortion due to the angular and raising the shadows, and then I passed it to photoshop, where I changed it to black and white.

In my camera bag

Since Olympus gear is small in size, I tend to carry a lot of gear in my backpack. 2 camera bodies: the OMD E-M1 MarkII and the OMD E-M1X. Plus various lenses: M.zuiko 7-14mm f 2.8, M,zuiko 12-40mm f2.8, M.zuiko 60mm macro, M.zuiko 40-150mm f2.8 and the M.zuiko 300mm f4.

Feedback

Although the photo of a particular site may have been taken several times, you can always find the same place with a different light, so do not refuse to revisit that site, you may find a surprise.
