Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at a golf course close to my home.

Time

This photo was taken around noon one cold winter day. There wasn't enough snow for skiing, but I could walk across the closed golf course.

Lighting

I think the lighting speaks for itself. The sun sifted through the branches and created a beautiful star. I was at the right place at the right time!

Equipment

Nikon D70 camera.

Inspiration

I'm always ready for things to shoot, and this time I was out for a walk just looking. I don't always have a plan, but I keep my eyes open. This was a beautiful winter day which always gives me great opportunities for a great photo.

Editing

No post-processing this time.

In my camera bag

I carry as little as possible. Normally I only bring my camera with one lens attached. It keeps me focused on the result, and I don't waste time wondering if I should use this lens or that lens. I use what I have with me, and get the most out of that particular equipment.

Feedback

You need to get out there!
