A Photo from my 2014 Camino

[Alan G]

Here's a photo I took on my 2014 Camino. I took it in the early morning after just leaving Terradillos de los Templarios. I didn't realise it at the time but I think I took the photo within a few 100 metres from where the cover photo of John Brierley's guidebook was taken (see inset) - the distant hills, fields and trees are almost identical.

Lovely, just lovely! I don't know much about photography but I noticed one thing that made me wonder what kind of camera or lens or settings or whatever you used? I am just curious. Because my photos never turn out like this. ☺

I used a Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ60 pocket camera. Handheld in the early morning light.

I'm more impressed by the moon then the fact that you solved that mystery!
It's an amazing photograph!

Huh. It strikes me as an excellent photo. I understand that this camera has a "nice wide angle". This may be the reason for the thing I noticed and admire: the large moon . All the moons on my photos are a rather sorry affair. ☺

I understand that this camera has a "nice wide angle".

The image EXIF data indicates I took the photo with the focal length set to 24mm (equivalent to 150mm for 35mm film).

Ivar interviewed Brierley the other day and asked him where the cover picture was taken. Brierley didn't want to say.

Yes!! There are at least 6 items that match perfectly (including the 3 trees center-right that reflect appropriate growth during the intervening years!) so it could be used as forensic evidence in a court of law. Who knows...maybe it’s even the same guy carrying the red pack—also perhaps showing a bit of the intervening years as well!

This looks like Brierley's cover also.
