Behind The Lens

Location

this was taken in New Brighton, Christchurch, New Zealand under the walking ramp up to the pier. Beautiful simple architecture.

Time

mid afternoon on a cloudy day

Lighting

just natural lighting

Equipment

Kodak CX75 30

Inspiration

I have taken photos here with my children sitting and lying in the circles. It is such a simple structure but really great to play with. I belong to the Ellesmere Camera Club and wanted some images for a minimalist competition.

Editing

Just some cropping and small amount of sharpening.

In my camera bag

Now I have an Olympus E-M5II, 12-50 lens, portrait lens, flash, travel charger, spare battery, mini bean bags for stability and a small underwater FujiFilm XP

Feedback

when using props, think about what you are hoping to capture take different objects in case your first object doesn't work and have a clear plan. Take your time. If there are distractions are they easily cropped out, if not can you move slightly, or zoom in, or can you remove the distraction. As you are working with inanimate objects you don't have to rush. Take time to play with your camera settings.
