Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was shot in Jupiter Florida, at the home of a friend. The location was chosen as a halfway point between the model and myself and for its large rustic surroundings

Time

This image was shot shortly after nightfall.

Lighting

A fog machine with colored light helped achieve the flam-like background (the full moon behind the trees was a terrific bonus)

Equipment

My Canon 80D with a Tamron art lens was used. Additional equpment included a fog machine and colored spot lights.

Inspiration

Halloween is always a favorite time of the year for me and the overall theme of the shoot included a witchy/magical setting.

Editing

Post editing was pirmarily a bit of color punch and addition of watermark

In my camera bag

Of course, my 80D and a few lenses (the low light Tamron art lens, a Tamron 35-300? zoom, and a nifty fifty from Canon. In addition I usually carry a spedilite and small LED light panel.

Feedback

Plannaing ahead for a clear night but yet having flexibility for the actual shots helped achieve this image. Initially the goal was fog for smoke around a burning cauldron with another light in the cauldron to illuminate the model. This photo was a last minute shot to capture the moon with the model.
