Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at home, I thought the capture communicated a love for pre digital, yet embracing the digital revolution.Time
It was mid afternoon, and I had just been given the old Agfa. The lady who had given it to me had had it from new and it has travelled around the world with her.Lighting
I used natural lighting from a window, so I could study it closelyEquipment
I am currently using a 550DInspiration
When I was given the Agfa, I was taken by its build and weight. To me it is a thing of beauty that in itself has captured beauty. Putting myself in the frame of the view finder was to share that all photographers are always behind the lens. Next year I shall use the Agfa for black and white only, there is still something quiet magical about taking shots and not seeing them until they have been processed :)Editing
I only slightly adjusted the brightnessIn my camera bag
I do not classify myself as photographer ... yet ... but I have just two lens at the moment a 55mm & a 300mm, which will change when I get a new camera, and I have a macro adapter, which is probably my favourite piece of kit.Feedback
Ask me that again when I have learned more myself ... but I think I shall always be a little more fluid in approach, of the moment. If something grabs you, just capture it ... and if something really begs to be staged ... never loose sight of that initial frame in your mind.
