Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my outdoor studio in the middle of Bispgården.

Time

It was a september day in the morning.

Lighting

There is always a little back light in these photos. It is ambient light.

Equipment

In this case it is free hand. with a nikon D3200 and a 55 - 300 mm lens.

Inspiration

The love for a unusual composition, made me set up a compositions with these mushrooms. Som seeds on it and wait.

Editing

I made the contrast stronger and sharpened it.

In my camera bag

tripod, batteries, cleaning gear, rain protection, remote,

Feedback

Compositions like these is best to use a tripod and a longer lens, but here i used 220 mm. Feed animals regularly. It is good that they get used to the camera and photographer. Create a place with nothing in the background. I learned to watch with my right eye in the camera. normaly I used my left eye, but my camera is a right hand camera. This way I have more sight.
