Location
This photo was taken in southern Lower Saxony in a nature reserve. One of those locations you are always looking for as a photographer. The model led me there.Time
It was in the late afternoon on a brutally hot day.Lighting
The sun was already quite low and reached through the high trees. Apart from daylight, there was no other lighting available, but this was perfectly sufficient.Equipment
This waken taken with my old but beloved D700 with the AF-S 85mm f/1.4G.Inspiration
I wanted to capture the mood of the moment: quietness, comfort and certainly a little of sensuality. I needed a little time to find an exposure I liked. In the beginning the scenery was too high exposed for me.Editing
The first steps were done with Capture One: White Balance, Exposure, Color Editing, and Contrast. Photoshop was only used for some smaller steps: Dodge & Burn on some parts e.g.In my camera bag
Usually two Bodies (a Nikon D810 and a D700), my my favorite lens the 85mm f/1.4, a 50mm f/1.8 and a 35mm f/1.4. A few little things I don't want to miss: plaster, wet wipes, towel, additional batteries, Bahlsen Pickup busicits (everyone likes these) and water to drink.Feedback
I think the right position of the sun and the light are essential. Bright sunlight would result in a too hard light despite the trees. It would therefore not reflect this mood in the same way.
