Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in my home town ) also my old school gym which has been turned into a community center. Located in North East Margaree, Cape Breton Nova Scotia. This was their wedding night just taken the night before.Time
This image was taken late at night in a dark gym with only the back light seen behind the couple, no flash or other additional lights used.Lighting
NAEquipment
I used just my canon RP body with my 24- 240mm lens no additional lighting, I had this on a tripod with an attachment of wheels that I could sit the tripod on so I can wheel around my tripod and camera as needed quickly but steady, no filters or anything else was for this image. Settings were ISO 5000 F5 1/125Inspiration
The wedding couple had a perfect set up done up by the wedding planner who has the LOVE lettering with lights for people to rent and the DJ with his lights, it was a perfect set up done up by planners and when they took away the tables for the dance it created the perfect set up would be hard to miss this perfect shot. (lots of others taken last night as well of the dance). It was that since it was a wedding and they had the LOVE letters there already I just knew that it would be the perfect angle for some shots, after the first few shots I knew I was already in the perfect spot.Editing
Very little editing, a little of the highlights, some dehaze again very little, some vignetting and a little contrast, lastly I increased the Noise to take out a bit of thatIn my camera bag
I normally carry my Canon RP body, my 50mm, 35mm, and 24-240mm lens, 2 ND filters 1 is just an ND8 the other is a adjustable one, cleaners, wipes, 2 batteries with the charger, 2 to 4 SD cards, any other parts that maybe needed like adapter.Feedback
keep practicing and keep trying from different angles get comfortable with trying new styles and different lighting scenarios, outside, inside, low light, good lighting, practice playing around with your white balance, give your self lots of extra time for everything, if possible check out locations ahead of time and play with your settings especially around the same time as the event you will be doing. never give up!
