Behind The Lens

Location

The photo I've taken in Germany near Saarbrücken - Heckendalheim. I was impressed by this agricultural constellation in combination with the clouds.

Time

07/25/2016 14:30 : I first ran 30 minutes back and forth to find the best constellation . I wanted to have a straw bale in the foreground in the golden section , and then enter the picture by means of lines depth . At first I wanted the clouds only a third of the image area to give but after a few attempts I've seen that imposing clouds act as a counterweight to the half of the image.

Lighting

The afternoon light has brought about a discreet but clearly recognizable contours effect in the lines from the straw bales to heaven . Through cloud formation I got a nice soft light .

Equipment

This was a shot on a NIKON D700 with AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8G ED. I used no tripod and no flash.

Inspiration

I am a photographer in Saarbrücken and was one day passed in this field . When I saw the interesting dramatic cloud formation on 25 July I thought that this would fit well and so I went to this straw bale field and took this photo .

Editing

The cloud formation I wanted to see more dramatic and I increased with adobe photoshop contrasts and improved with the Levels oeuvre .

In my camera bag

I am a very versatile photographer and work for different contracts in sports photography , event photography and wedding photography . In addition, I work artistically and intend to participate in competitions . Therefore, I have never been my photo equipment complete this but the task accordingly.

Feedback

To create such a picture , it is well to begin to look similar constellation . Watch the weather constellation . Do you want to take advantage of the moment when , for example, the clouds have a particular constellation , you do not necessarily have time to wait to long to have deep shadows until evening . Be spontaneously . Otherwise , if time is , take these , go for a long time back and forth to the situation from different sides to sift and try a picture idea to have developed in the mind . Perhaps it is also a picture story , for example, the straw bale roll the lines along in the sky and disappear behind the dramatic clouds . What you important? Try this work out in the factory .
