Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken while playing that board game in the house of a friend of mine.

Time

This is one of my first ever photos I took with my camera. I had the camera for only one day then. It was taken on the 16th of January at 6:16 pm while experimenting with the settings.f

Lighting

I don't really focus on lighting or something. I always use natural lighting. In this photo it wasn't natural lighting, but it was the light that brightens up the room, so I it was just like that.

Equipment

This was hot on a Panasonic DMC-TZ100. I did not use a bigger lens, so it's just the build-in lens of the camera, which is 25mm-250mm. no flash was used.

Inspiration

It was the first day I could really use the camera since I had to fully charge it the day before. What happened is that I was constantly looking to make photos of every single thing so when we were playing the board game 'the game of life' I saw those three cars next to each other and thought: 'This could become something special'. While I was taking the photos I put my camera on the ground because it was my turn in the game. When I looked back I saw that my camera made the focus on the cars itself, and so the sides were some kind of blurry. I saw it and knew that it would become one of the most beautiful photos I shot.

Editing

I actually did not.

In my camera bag

The first and only thing I pack is my Panasonic DMC-TZ100 with a 25mm-250mm lens. I do not have anything else because of two reasons; one is that I do not have the money to buy extra lenses or other cameras or whatever. The second reason is because I do not know a lot about photography since I only just started to take photos and haven't taken any lesson.

Feedback

The only tip I could give anyone, is to always look around you whether it's the nature or just a room. A lot of times you'll find something that could be a fantastic photograph without you having to put any effort in but aim the camera and press the button. Just always be aware of your surroundings and have your camera clost to you.
