Behind The Lens
Location
In a local fieldTime
Early evening, just as it was starting to get dark.Lighting
This was always intended to be a dark image both in lighting and in portrayal. The darkness makes the image dramatic in my opinion.Equipment
Lumix DSLR with a fish eye lens. maximum depth of field.Inspiration
I wanted to create something dark. The dark sky and the single red flower shows a dark world. I had this image in my mind's eye before going out to create the image.Editing
I darkened the image using photo software, I also dodged and burned the sky to make it more dramatic.In my camera bag
In this instance I just took out the camera with the fish eye lens. I often just take a single lens and practice with it. I find that the restriction helps me be more creative. In the olden days of film, a photographer had a maximum of 36 images on a film, this ensured that the photographer ensured that every image counted. With today's digital world, people often take hundreds of images in the hope that one of them will be what they are after. I often restrict myself to this many images.Feedback
Try restricting yourself to only several images on an outing. It gives a different outlook to your outing and often gives you fewer, but better images.
