Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture at Gage park in Hamilton, Ontario at a Francophone Festival.

Time

This photo was taken on a gorgeous afternoon, in the month of June.

Lighting

The lighting was all natural for this photo although at times throughout the day the sun was making it difficult to get some shots. Thankfully the performers were moving around the park and I was able to get some nice photos of them.

Equipment

To take this photo I used my Canon EOS REBEL T2i and my 250 mm lens.

Inspiration

I just loved the makeup job on the mimes that day. They were colourful, creative, expressive and very animated.

Editing

Yes, I did some tweaking in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom. First I always like to straighten and crop my photos. Typically if I have taken a decent shot with the camera, I will usually adjust the highlights, shadows, whites, blacks and clarity if need be. The shots I took on the day this photo was taken, thankfully needed little tweaking

In my camera bag

I typically carry 3 cameras in my bag. A Canon EOS REBEL T3i, Canon EOS REBEL T2i and my Waterproof Canon Powershot D20 cameras. I also have 3 lens I carry, an 18 mm, a 55 mm, and 250 mm lens. I also have my Canon Speedlite 430EX II. I always carry a minimum of 4 fully charged batteries for either the cameras or for the flash and I also have a battery charger with me just in case. I carry a polarizing filter, a little water spray bottle, lens cleaners and a remote for the cameras. It would be nice to travel a little lighter, but I do want to try and be prepared, just in case that photo opportunity does present itself. Mind you, I do realize I need to start bringing my tripod out with me more.

Feedback

My advice is just to be observant and respectful of your surroundings and nature. Soak in all the natural and manmade beauty that surrounds us. If you just stop and really take a look, you will see that there is beauty all around us. If I find something I am inspired to shoot, I try playing with the settings and angles of the shot. I can take several shots of a single scene, with an adjustment here and there, or shoot from another perspective. As an amateur photographer I am constantly trying to develop my eye and skills. Most of all I just recommend that you just have fun with your camera and your surroundings!
