Behind The Lens

Location

?????????? ??????? ? 2008 ????, ? ?????-??????????, ??????. ??? ???? ?????? ?? ?????? ? ???????? ??????.

Time

The photo was taken in the late afternoon. The sun began to leave its hiding clouds that brought rain. I walked along the beach in search of interesting shots and saw people playing volleyball. Enhances the wind and rain beginning did not prevent them from playing. So I was able to find the right point me to shoot and wait for an interesting moment.

Lighting

Light from the sky was a lot, despite the clouds. So I decided to do silhouette pictures for more interesting dynamics, and to draw the menacing sky, which adds dramatic to the game.

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon D300, with an Tokina 16-50 2.8. No other equipment was involved.

Inspiration

I'm interested in players who are not looking at the weather, continued his match. A remarkable and dramatic sky, too, helped to decide what I want to get the photo. And then I just had to wait for the necessary moment.

Editing

Photo left so successful that almost did not require treatment. Mainly in RAW I had to change the contrast and do not touch the curve of the horizon.

In my camera bag

Usually, when I go out on a photographic walk around the city, I take the "reportage" kit. It includes Nikon D3s (although now I started using Nikon Df), Nikkor 80-200 2.8, Nikkor 24-70 2.8, Sigma 15mm 2.8 Fisheye, and Nikkor 50 1.8. With such a focal length and aperture I can take pictures of practically any urban plot at any time of the day. In 2008, I was limited to Nikon D300, Nikkor 85 1.4D and Tokina 16-50 2.8.

Feedback

To take pictures of sports, it is good to watch the game and the players. Then some of the actions can be predicted. Of course, in sports, much depends on chance, and there will be a help intuition. It also helps to monitor the main object of shooting, whether the player or the ball. Also, I specifically removed from the wrong line of the horizon, as the player hoped to jump, that would add to the effect of this action.
