Behind The Lens

Location

This is taken when I was out for a walk around our neighborhood and we had recently just received some snow, the photo is framed with her sitting in the baby stroller.

Time

Its taken before the sun was about to set, when the sun was somewhat low on the horizon allowing for some shots before the real golden hour shots.

Lighting

The tree branches above allowed for some balanced lightning, the sun was still up and it wouldn't be ideal taking the shot with a clear view from up above.

Equipment

Sony A7 together with Samyang 85mm f1.4 if I recall, could've been with the Canon 135mm f2 L, with an adapter as well. Since the camera didn't allow for autofocus with an adapted Canon lens, and the Samyang being MF only, no autofocus was used to get the shot.

Inspiration

The light passing through from the tree branches above allowed for some good balanced light, and her mood and expression was ideal together with he outfit working perfectly against the snowy landscape.

Editing

Yes, some white balance adjustments, recovering of shadows and details together with some vignetting.

In my camera bag

Now a days, I'm normally using the Sony A7 III with one manual focusing lens, the Minolta MC Rokkor 55mm f1.7. I also indoors use the Sigma Art 35mm f1.4 and sometimes the Zeiss Batis 85mm f1.8.

Feedback

Be in the moment, try to feel what the person you're photographing feels.
