Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in a small forest near a neighborhood. It was a 20 minute walk from my place, but I never have thought of taken pictures there. That is when my photography journey starts.

Time

It was at the beginning of autumn, in the early morning just when the sun started to rise. It sounds silly to say this, but it was such a magical moment for me, how the light peeked through the trees. That's when I took my camera and wanted to save this moment for a very long time.

Lighting

To be honest, this picture only has natural lighting. I didn't use a flash, beautiful, right?!

Equipment

This picture was taken with my Canom EOS 1100D, it is the very first DSLR I own and I treasure it so much!

Inspiration

We get so caught up with our job, school etc, we sometimes forget to take a break and appreciate the beautiful things in life. When I look at this picture, I believe that if we try hard enough, magical things are all around us.

Editing

I have only played with the shadows of this picture, so that the focus was really on the lighting.

In my camera bag

My Canon EOS 1100D and my 85 mm f/1.8 lens. I am still new to photography so I don't have a lot of equipments. If I can, I also bring my father's old tripod with me on adventures.

Feedback

Try to go as early as possible, the perfect time is when the sun is just about to rise. That is when the lighting is the most beautiful. Try to take as many shots from many angles as possible to see where the most light comes from. Practice makes perfect!
