Behind The Lens

Location

We were invited over to our friends home for some Christmas cheer, good food and celebration. This ornament was hanging on their Christmas tree in the living room.

Time

This photo was taken indoors, during the evening hours. The entire house was beautifully decorated and the glow of the lights in contrast with the shadowed ornament was beautiful.

Lighting

There were a few lamps on, but for the most part it was a low light situation. The Christmas tree just glowed with all of the miniature lights and was truly the focal part of the room.

Equipment

I used my iPhone 12 Pro Max.

Inspiration

I felt the holiday spirit. The decorations, light and warm feeling drew me to the tree. This ornament was especially beautiful, catching the light, but still in the shadow. The red ornament was a perfect compliment to the green pine, and lovely Christmas colors. The glitter and patterns really made the ornament stand out. The ambiance was wonderful and brought back many good memories of Christmas past. A true "old-fashioned" ornament and feeling.

Editing

Minor adjustments with regard to contrast and light.

In my camera bag

I carry a camera backpack that holds my Nikon D5600 with various lenses from a macro to a telephoto. I keep an extra battery and photo cards, my manual, pen, writing pad, and a lens cleaner. I generally try to have both my camera and iPhone with me so I can choose which camera is best suited for the desired result.

Feedback

In this case, having my iPhone has always been a good choice. It is convenient and easy to carry When the situation isn't conducive to bringing my camera, my iPhone has saved the day when I have found a subject I absolutely want to capture.
