A flash in the night by enzodellacqua

Behind The Lens

Location

The Picture was taken at a friend's house. to be honest his window is quite famous for a soft yet contrasty light.

Time

We took the Picture in the afternoon.

Lighting

As I said this window is quite famous for a soft yet contrasty light. The window is on the nothern side of the house. The light is indirect light - even more on a clody day as it was when we took this Picture.

Equipment

I used my Canon EOS 5DsR, Canon EF 35/1.7 II, a window and available light

Inspiration

I saw the window and immediately wanted to do a available light session with it

Editing

I added some contrast in post, micro contrast and made the vignette in the far corners more visible.

In my camera bag

In my bag there is usually my camera, 2 zooms (16-35/4 & 70-200/2.8) and the following fixed lenses: 24/1.4, 35/1.4, 50/1.4, 85/1.2. My bag is pretty big and heavy

Feedback

Often you don't need expensive flash Systems - a window and available light is everything you need.
