Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during my running session in the Las Kabacki in Poland (Konstancin-Jeziorna area, near Warsaw)

Time

It was mid October when I was on my morning, Sunday run. Suddenly I noticed this sun rays pouring into the path. Since the best camera is the one you have with you, so I grabbed my Samung S20FE to catch this view. Of course, in such cases I used the RAW mode.

Lighting

The light was just magical and it was an absolute the must to take this shot. Since it was morning time and some moisture was in the air, it resulted in these classic light streaks coming down.

Equipment

I used what I had with me so a smartphone, namely Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G. Shot in Pro mode which gives RAW files.

Inspiration

This photo was just a matter of being in the right time in the right place. I saw it and shoot it.

Editing

It was shot in RAW and post-processed in the phone with my favourit editor: Snapseed. Some local edits on lights and shadows, increased contrast.

In my camera bag

My usual gear are phone, Canon RP and some film camera, usually 35mm.

Feedback

Landscape photography is very often a mix of luck, time and place. If you want to capture light streaks from the sun in the woods, you need to be in very specific weather conditions: harsh sun light and some fog/moisture near the ground. I've never chased for such effect but when I see, I just shoot
