Behind The Lens

Location

In Wheatland, Wyoming, in the backyard of a home.

Time

Late afternoon.

Lighting

Nothing special. Just natural sunlight.

Equipment

Sony Nex-6 with a 17-50mm lens.

Inspiration

This huge mastiff dog is in the household with another huge St. Bernard dog. Both were looking over the fence with angst as the owners were leaving. I grabbed my camera quickly to capture their emotional responses.

Editing

I cropped in close and "sharpened" a little in iphoto.

In my camera bag

Sony Nex-6, 17-55mm, 14mm, 50-200, and fish-eye lens. Bean bag for stability. I have trouble with tripods. I tend to just swing them around! I always carry extra memory cards and batteries.

Feedback

With a scene like this I would try to take at least 15 shots. Snap quickly and don't try to set up too much. Maybe change the points of view with different shots. Don't hesitate.
