Behind The Lens

Location

Shot was taken close to the area I live. In the Netherlands, Strabrechtse heide, close to Someren.

Time

I did this picture in the morning during the weekend while I was riding my bicycle.

Lighting

Nothing special I would say. Just trying to get sharp shot while the day was cloud to get not so noisy shot I did not increase ISO in purpose. The most important thing, in that case, was to find a suitable angle to get what I was thinking to get, means a really nice view of my bicycle in the bush.

Equipment

I did use my old fellow means NIKON D90 and Sigma 17-70. No tripod or any other special tools were used in that case.

Inspiration

Usually, during the weekends I am using this time to make my hobby, by using my bicycle and my camera and try to visit as many places as possible. Combining cycling and shooting at the same time.

Editing

In that particular shot, I just enhanced colors to reflect what I saw that time. And of course vignette to let the recipient concentrate on my lovely bicycle.

In my camera bag

Well, I use my second fellow during my travels means case logic backpack. Nothing special inside. I am not professional. So, I use one set: NIKON D90 + Sigma 17-70. That's enough. Of course not forgetting about the snacks.

Feedback

Wherever you go take the camera with you. They are saying that we have golden hours to make the pictures. Maybe, but I do not stick to this so often. Simply, try to make as many shots as possible in every time of the day. You do not need a sunny day. Cloudly one is even more interesting. Think about the shot before. Living in the same place by some time it is very easy to know when or what happens with the scene you see every day, every night. What crop, a position you are going to use. You can easily check it each day and use is for the best shot. That will make your life easier. Do not give up, never. If not this time maybe next, you are living there don't you. Do not lose the opportunity. In this kind of condition, you will have another chance every day, every night. And remember that's not the equipment is making you a photographer. That's you, only you. Limited equipment is making you more creative. So, go, take the shots and share them with others.
