Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Blea Tarn, a quiet and some what remote place in the Lake District. It shows the walk Geoff (aged 90) aspires to do !

Time

Taken later in the morning as Geoff paused by the gate.

Lighting

Natural lighting for this scene, some post processing in photoshop.

Equipment

Shooting from the hip during a moment's pause. No tripod, no flash, no equipment.

Inspiration

This picture captures a happy memory with Geoff. An inspiration in himself. At this point he is more likely pausing for me, his sights are set on conquering the next hilltop and carrying on!

Editing

Shadows and highlight adjustments.

In my camera bag

Right now I'm filling out my kitbag - but it is far from necessary to hold a lot of equipment. A typical kit for me includes a Sony camera & lense, a Rotolight to add directional light and fill in shadows (softly to the face or surroundings), various props to add interest to a day's photos, small tripod and snacks.

Feedback

Human interest in nature scenes is important. A hiking buddy is essential. A wise guide is essential. Keep your camera close and have a zoom lense to capture people, animals and wide angle.
