Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a field right next to the forge mill needle museum in redditch UK. Its quite a big area with many fields and castle ruins .

Time

It was about 1pm on a warm summer day .

Lighting

It was sunny, lighting was tricky with the sun going in and out. On this shot the sun had just gone in so the shadows were less harsh .

Equipment

I used Nikon D7000 with a 18 - 55 mm lens, I did have a flash fitted but I didn't use it on this picture.

Inspiration

It was a split second decision , my daughter in the picture had run up to the fence and I instantly loved the shot. With the fence leading out and my daughter looking over it , the dead tree . The crows I added later but I already had that idea when I took the shot.

Editing

The post processing I did first was the standard levels and such... Then I took it over to my Ipad where I used snapseed to give it a grunge type look . Then I used an app called repix where I added the crows flying out of the tree for extra effect.

In my camera bag

I now have a D7100 and I always carry everything around with me to list it would take a while , It's quite a heavy pack but I cant help myself . I always know I will have the right lens for the job that way. I have about 6 lenses ranging from 10mm up to 300mm and a speedlight flash gun with a flash modifier kit and gels.

Feedback

Well big open fields with single dead trees would be a good start , if you can find one with a fence too even better! . The settings I used for this shot was manual mode, F16 ,ISO 160, 1/160 sec and focal length 18mm . A cloudy day would be best as its gives texture to the sky when adding the grunge effect. Just get outside with your camera, experiment and enjoy!
