Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in my front room on impulse.

Time

I think this was taken early one afternoon. I was exploring different lighting ideas for an upcoming shoot and, on impulse, took this "selfie".

Lighting

The photograph was taken alongside a shaded window (diffused) to the right and slightly to the rear. This was the only lighting for the shot.

Equipment

Nikon D7000, Nikkor 18-105mm lens, tripod. Lens at 80mm, 1/13sec @ f6.3

Inspiration

No inspiration, just practising.

Editing

Only gray scale

In my camera bag

Either Nikon D7000 or Nikon D800E with an assortment of lenses, both prime and zoom. Circular polarisers and graduated ND filters are also kept with the lenses for use if necessary.

Feedback

Just keep practising and pressing the shutter. Sooner or later you'll find an approach that works well for you.
