Behind The Lens

Location

I was exploring Namibia and stopped at a farm this beautiful bird stood crewing one leaf of grass and looked at me in this cool and cowboy attitude. I'm a professional cinematographer and semi professional photographer traveled over 152 locations world wide. Always with my stills Nikon D800 on me in case I meet a cool hand Luke character like this.

Time

Mid day in the heat of the African bush.

Lighting

heat of the day in Africa

Equipment

85mm Samyang lens with a 9ND to get that narrow depth.

Inspiration

I love Westerns

Editing

warmth and let the lens do the work

In my camera bag

Nikon 70-200, Samyang 85mm and Nikon 17-35 zoom. Sony A7Sii too.

Feedback

wait and one day a bird like this will see you and hold her stance long enough to click.
