Behind The Lens

Location

I took this self-portrait in my backyard during a snowstorm.

Time

I was watching the snowstorm and decided to do a self-portrait for a winter theme. It was mid-afternoon and the light was very flat and overcast.

Lighting

The snowstorm made the light very flat with very little contrast.

Equipment

I set up my second tripod with my Nikon D850 with a radio remote to fire the camera. I used a 90mm Tamron lens and set it to autofocus.

Inspiration

I love photographing in fresh snow during a storm. I placed a prop Nikon D850 with a broken flash and covered it in snow. I went outside and rubbed snow on myself for effect. I had the remote in my right hand to trigger the camera.

Editing

I did very little processing other than crop and used photoshop curves to add contrast and sharpness.

In my camera bag

I have Nikon D850 Nikon D7100 and a D300 converted to infrared. For lenses, I have a Nikon 50mm F1.4 Nikon 70-200 F 2.8 for Tamron 24-70 Tamron 90mm macro, and a Tamron 150-600 I use Godox for flash

Feedback

I would tell anyone to just have fun and don"t be afraid to get out in bad weather. I have stood in the middle of rain storms and had my [prop] camera covered in mud or ice to create interesting environmental portraits.
