Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken on the back deck of home during a mid-Covid wedding celebration.Time
It was early evening in AugustLighting
The lighting is all natural and takes advantage of “the golden hour” close to sunset.Equipment
This was shot with a simple canon rebel and kit lens. Nothing fancyInspiration
This was not a traditional wedding party photo. I was Ted to capture the pattern and texture of the suit and the smoke added a bit of edge.Editing
I enhanced the texture a little in Lightroom but o kept the colors as true to the original as possibleIn my camera bag
I normally have the whole shebang: lights, lenses, tripod, diffusion filters…the works. But this was a simple event and I wanted to capture it in a simple and natural wayFeedback
You don’t need expensive equipment and lots of “stuff” to be a great photographer. If you have an eye for composition, your photos will stand out.
