Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was taken on my Kitchen bench under our skylight ... it was a beautiful day outside, the natural light shining down was just perfect, no other lighting was necessary

Time

This was taken back in 2014 so I don't remember what time of day it was, but most likely about mid afternoon when the sun would be shining fully on the skylight.

Lighting

As I have said it was purely natural lighting coming through our skylight,

Equipment

I just used my trusty Canon EOS 1200D DSLR, no other equipment was necessary.

Inspiration

I was doing shoot for a theme for another Photographic page I belong to on FB. The theme was called "Be Artistic" where you had to create a scene from things you had around your home, hence the Police Bears and my Father's Painting as background, also the"Little Brown Jug" has been floating around in the garage for years. I must explain about the Bears, they are purchased from our local Police Station and are fund raising Bears, the funds go to the families of Officers killed or seriously injured in the line of Duty.

Editing

Very little post-processing went into this shot ... just a tweak of the light, and colour levels and slight bit sharpening.

In my camera bag

I only have the one camera, as mentioned before it is a Canon EOS 1200D DSLR, with an EFS 18-55mm lens, also a EF 75-300mm lens, I also have a spare memory card and battery. I do carry a reasonably good tripod, but only take it when I know I will use it, as the lighter the gear the easier it to get to places. Also if you don't have a tripod with you you can always find a tree, a fence or a rock to rest your camera on/against if you haven't got steady enough hands to hold the camera for a slightly longer exposure.

Feedback

There is very little advice I can give about this shot, as these items are very special to me ... But if you have some bears and a woodlands painting, also good natural lighting inside, it is possible to set up something like this ... I suppose if you had good studio lighting, or a light box you could also set up something like this, but it is up to the individual's artistic abilities to be able to see the potential of the objects they choose to use.
