Behind The Lens
Location
Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. The glass is in the ceiling as you enter.Time
Early evening, although since I was inside, lighting was artificial.Lighting
Artificial lighting is not my preference but sometimes you just have to take what you are given. Therefore I had to shoot at ISO 1600 (when my preference is ISO 50 - usually with a tripod).Equipment
Nikon D300, Nikon 24-120mm f/3.5-5.6 lens. ISO 1600 @ 24mm, 1/60th sec @ f/4.5. No flash.Inspiration
The color and translucency of of blown art glass has always intrigued me. The lighting behind the glass displayed the variations in color so well.Editing
No post-processing although in retrospect, I could have added a bit of Clarity in Adobe LIghtroom.In my camera bag
I have several camera bags and I use them according to the expected time in the field and number of cameras, lenses, and types of tripods I intend to use: - Urban Photography: LowePro Slingshot Edge 250 - Multi-day/Multi-Lens Photography (where enough space is a problem): ThinkTank Speed Demon V2.0 - Long Trip (Weight and Size No Issue) Photography: LowePro Flipside 500 AW II Sony A6600 and a6500 mirrorless cameras. I converted to Sony from Nikon due to weight issues. Lenses: Sigma 16mm, f/1.4- Sigma 30mm, f 1.4 - Sony 10 to 18mm f/4 - Zeiss 16 to 70mm, f 4 - Sony 18 to 200mm, f3.5/6.3 - Zeiss Batis 85mm, f 1.8 - Sony G-Series, 90mm Macro, f/2.8 - Sony G-Series, 70 to 300mm, f4.5/5.6 - Four Sony batteries for the a6500 and two for the a6600 - Sony Battery chargers for a6500 and a6600 - Sony RMT-DSLR2 Remote Control - Various lens and sensor cleaning fluids, papers, and tools, including a Giotto “Rocket” air blaster - One 128 GB Sandisk Extreme (150Mb/sec), Four 64 GB Lexar Pro 633X (95MB/sec) SD XCI cards As needed, I use a Gitzo GT1541T carbon fibre tripod with Markins Q3 (Arca-Swiss type) ballhead and L-Shape bracket accessory for mounting to a camera to allow vertical and horizontal framing of shots. I have owned at least 5 other tripods/ball heads in the past but this combination is absolutely the best. If weight is an issue, I use a lighter weight carbon fibre tripod/ball head and a carbon fibre monopod.Feedback
Perhaps used a even wider aperture lens to capture more art glass.
