Location
This photo was taken on the outside deck of my home located in the mountains of North Carolina while soaking up some sun and enjoying a warm cup of coffee!Time
While sunbathing on my deck and enjoying a morning cup of coffee on my weekend off, I decided to capture my relaxation and peaceful moment with this selfie and practice my editing skills afterward using a new editing application I was unfamiliar with. This was taken in early October 2022.Lighting
Outdoor natural lighting during mid morning Fall day.Equipment
Honestly my low end Motorola G Stylus 2021 was the equipment used and although low-tech and lacking in any professional specs or abilities, I was rather pleased with the finished result for a simple black & white selfie!Inspiration
The peaceful aura of my weekend off while enjoying my morning coffee on my deck overlooking the beautiful NC mountain view on a chilly, yet sunny morning was the main inspiration. I felt it the perfect moment to capture the happiness & tranquility that I was experiencing.Editing
Yes I utilized a basic editing application I had recently downloaded and was unfamiliar with to edit the original, taken in color, to a black and white portrait and cropped it down to this angle and size.In my camera bag
As I am very amateur and usually only do photos and art for fun, I am not caring anything except my phone most times.Feedback
Genuine moments capture real-time without prior planning or staging are the best forms of art in my opinion! The raw emotion captures ones eye and speaks to their heart effortlessly!
