Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my study/computer room. As usual, Nigel was sitting on top of the desk "helping" me work... He took a short break for a quick photo shoot.

Time

This was taken in the morning, and as the desk is right beside the window, the morning light on Nigel was too good to pass up!

Lighting

I loved the way the light was giving him an ethereal glow... And his contemplative look added to the softness of the image.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D7100 with a 18-200mm lens. No flash, just natural light.

Inspiration

I love capturing ordinary, everyday moments. There's something special about the small but incredibly beautiful things around us all the time, and I like to slow things down, savor them, and if I'm lucky get a memorable image out of it.

Editing

I did not do any post processing with this image.

In my camera bag

My Nikon D7100 and the 18-200 lens come with me on pretty much every photo shoot. I do quite a bit of travelling, and find that that lens is great for when I'm on the go. Very versatile. I also carry a Panasonic Lumix point and shoot when I travel - just in case! A macro lens sometimes makes it into the bag as well, depending on where and what I'll be shooting.

Feedback

Always have a camera on hand, charged up and ready to go!
