Behind The Lens

Location

I created this photo on the terrace of my family house.

Time

This photo was taken in the early evening at 5 p.m. My friend visited me with his dog and I just had my new 85 mm f/1.4 lens on camera. Good opportunity to try shallow depth of field.

Lighting

The sun was behind a continuous cloud and was a pleasant diffuse soft light.

Equipment

I worked with my DSLR camera Nikon D4S and with new lens Nikkor 85 mm f/1,4. I worked handheld, without a tripod and flash.

Inspiration

I love nature and all animals, both domestic and wild. I myself am an active dog breeder and dogs accompany my entire adult life. I like to photograph my dogs and the dogs of friends or passers-by. And I like eye-to-eye type photos.

Editing

I love natural photos. Realistic shots without big adjustments. I try to capture all my photos so I do not have to use the massive post-processing. I know it is very modern and trendy today, but I do not work with PS or LR or other editing software. I invoke my NEF only in original Nikon software and make only minor basic adjustments. Maybe my photos could be even more attractive, but I want to show real reality.

In my camera bag

The contents of my robust Tamrac bag is primarily a powerful digital camera that I can rely on in every weather. Now I'm normally using the body Nikon D6 and the backup body Nikon D850. I normally wear Nikkor lenses 24-70 f/2.8 and 70-200 f/2.8. These "workers" have always been with me. On the "macro" action I take the excellent lens Nikkor micro 105 f/2,8. For wild animals and birds photography I need to pack "heavier weight" - now I'm using the zoom-lens Nikkor 180-400 f/4 (with TC 1.4x) and fast lenses Nikkor 300 f/2.8 and Nikkor 200 f/2. For the last three years, I have also been learning to photograph wild with the new mirrorless cameras from Nikon, at the moment it is Z6ii and Z7ii .

Feedback

Pets are a grateful object for photography. Different angles of view and different lighting conditions need to be tested. And also different perspectives thanks to different lenses.
