Behind The Lens

Location

I took this in my studio office in Columbia, Maryland.

Time

It was late morning to early afternoon.

Lighting

I blacked out the room so I could control any stray light coming from outside. The object was light-painted with an LED flashlight.

Equipment

I used a tripod for the long exposure for my Canon 5d Mk II with 90mm TS lens fitted with 5x macro filter. The object was reflected in a chrome shower head to give it a double-exposure look. The camera was focused on the reflection as I light-painted the object.

Inspiration

I love taking abstract shots of everyday objects.

Editing

I did some slight tonal corrections in LR & PS to increase contrast and bring out more color in the copper. I also had to spend some time cleaning up scratches and other imperfections from the reflective shower head.

In my camera bag

For my everyday shooting I carry my Canon 6D and either 100mm macro or 90mm TS and Flashpoint speedlight.

Feedback

Have an idea of what final image you'd like to create and experiment with different setups and techniques until you create the image you envisioned. Once you've found what technique works for you, you'll be able to use that technique again and again.
