Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken in 2010 at the La Brea Tar Pits in Los Angeles during a day off exploring the City with My Camera.

Time

This was shot during the afternoon.

Lighting

No flash was needed for there was an abundance of natural light.

Equipment

I used My Nikon D3300

Inspiration

The inspiration I think speaks for itself. Street Art is a favorite of Mine and this just caught My eye. I always enjoy a walk in the City regardless of which City I may be in. My inspiration comes once I find that dirty Alley,or place off the beaten path that sees little attention.

Editing

I generally shoot in RAW and did use a filter for Black and White.

In my camera bag

I always have My Nikon D3300 and numerous lenses. And it never hurts to snap a few with My Iphone6.

Feedback

I am a freelance Photographer and have had the opportunity to live in many places in the States and travel to several Countries. My best advice is to get lost in every place you visit,find the hidden gems. Don't be afraid to just lay down in a public place if thats the point of view You are after. Angles are very important in My work. Most of all have fun and get out there. The world is ever changing and Your next great shot may just be out your front door.
