Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at my daughters home. We have a family meal every Sunday so it was perfect for having all the grandkids together.Time
Early evening. As I was taking the shots inside it didn't. After that much re time of day as I wanted to use available lighting.Lighting
Due to shooting inside, I used natural light from a window which worked well as I wanted a B&W imageEquipment
I have been using a smartphone for the past few years for all my photography. I have been so impressed with the quality of results with my Samsung S24 Ultra which is much more convenient for travelling for my landscape photography.Inspiration
I wanted an image that showed the likeness of my grandchildren and thought I could achieve this easier with a side on view of them with a serious look.Editing
As I took four separate images, I changed the background to black in all. I then made four separate layers in Photoshop and merged them togetherIn my camera bag
I have moved from having the loaded camera bag with my Nickon and various lenses to a rucksack with Tripod, ND filters and mini powerpack with my S24 Ultra in my pocket.Feedback
Don't be fooled that you are restricted of what you can create with a smartphone camera I can assure you that anything is possible with the latest smartphone lenses. Built in software with ND filters which produce fantastic long exposure shots. The other main advantage is I do most editing on my mobile with Lightroom software.
