Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken in small palace, close to Warsaw.

Time

It was mid day. What is important, This picture was taken without tripod with very low light from lamp above model and from window at the end of corridor.

Lighting

As I wrote, light was very low. Only two sources - small bulb in the lamp above of model and very soft light from the window at the end of corridor.

Equipment

I used Canon 5D MK III with Canon 85 f/1.2 lens. No flash, no tripod, no modifiers.

Inspiration

The dance between shadow and light in this corridor push me to take this picture. I was afraid about noise level but surprisingly the camer done well and I've got very nice digital noise.

Editing

Yes, I'm using Camera Raw to adjust picture base parameters and later Photoshop to convert this picture into black and white photo.

In my camera bag

I'm using Canon prime lens - 85 f/1.2, 50 f/1.2, 135 f/2 with Canon 5D Mk III. For my analog photography I'm using Contax 645 with the best (in my opinion) Zeiss 80 mm lens. From time to time, I'm using Elinchrome studio lights.

Feedback

Yes - do not be afraid to take picture in low light. As you can see result are great :)
