Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in an ice cream shop located in Rockome Gardens, Arcola, Illinois and this is near the Amish community of Arthur, Illinois. Great place to visit..

Time

It was around 2 p.m. when I took this photo.

Lighting

Fluorescent and natural lighting were involved in this shot.

Equipment

I use the Canon 5D Mark III, aputure: f/ 9.0 ISO 8000, shutter speed 1/69 and a Canon zoom lens EF 24-105 1:4 L IS USM

Inspiration

It is just a beautiful old upright piano with the right natural and artificial lighting at the right time.

Editing

The only thing I adjusted was the contrast

In my camera bag

Basically what I described above plus a tripod plus a Canon 100 to 400 mm lens a skylight filter and a polarizer and rain gear and a cleaning cloth and a hat and that's about it. I travel as light as possible

Feedback

I am more of a nature photographer than any other type so I try and take photographs either early in the morning when the light is crisp and sharp or during the evening when the light is more soft and subtle. Very seldom do I use artificial lighting and I rarely plan a shoot it's mostly at the spur of the moment when all the elements are right.
