Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken in Apples, a small village in french speaking part of Switzerland. The hometown of Logitech creator....

Time

It was on a Sunday afternoon in Autumn

Lighting

End of afternoon light and shapes of the trees without leaves created a good contrast

Equipment

My usual gear, a medium film camera, a HASSELBLAD 500 C/M with Planar 80mm/f2.8, which is the equivalent of 50mm standard lens for 24x36mm. The film used this time is the magic low sensibility with huge sharpness ILFORD PAN-F 50 ASA

Inspiration

Trees are among my favorite photography theme. This small hill with these 2 trees and the late autumn afternoon light immediately took my attention.

Editing

I am scanning my negatives to post-process them with Adobe Lightroom. This time, I added some contrast, graduated filter on the sky and that is it.

In my camera bag

A heavy bag with HASSELBLAD gear, 50mm wide angle, 80mm standard lens, Lee filter system, manual light meter, few films and 2 film backs. Also my tripod most of the time as I like long exposures

Feedback

Look around, no need to travel far away to have excellent opportunities, these trees are about 5km from where I leave.
