Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in the most simplest of places, my backyard. I’ve realised that it isn’t the great ordeal of travelling that produces great shots, it’s applying different perspectives to basic places.Time
It was in the evening as the sun has settled and behind closed damn on a lone winters day, and the peaking light created a great reflection.Lighting
The lighting was unique in its own, I asap a rainbow emerging from the back and I decided to position it between the thorns of a bush to make it seem like pain into pleasure.Equipment
I used my Canon 1200D with the standard kit lens (18-55) although it is a crop sensor so it’s a 1.6x multiplierInspiration
I was inspired by a song lyric, “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” - despite the cosmetic purpose of the song ithowed me that everything is a matter of perspectiveEditing
I usually use Lightroom to recover the basic shadows and restore highlights, although in this picture I used the app snapseed as I was on the go and the picture didn’t need much processing, just the basic sharpening.In my camera bag
I normally carry around my Nikon D5600, my 50mm 1.8, extra battery and an sd card. Alongside my laptop and the chargers.Feedback
So it’s pretty simple- get one object which you don’t find too interesting and shoot HUNDREDS of photos of it at different angles and lighting effects, but make sure you don’t move the subject- just move yourself.
