Behind The Lens

Location

On my front verandah.

Time

Middle of the day

Lighting

All natural light, filtered through clear verandah roofing, resulting in bright but diffuse light.

Equipment

Just my Canon camera hand held.

Inspiration

I was doing some holiday painting projects with my neighbour's kids. I loved the contrast of the bright colours with their dark skin. I simply asked the kids to pose their hands over a piece of white cardboard (which they later painted).

Editing

Minimal post processing. Just tweaked saturation and hue to get a good balance of colour and intensity.

In my camera bag

Although I only used the camera and lens for this photo, I usually carry a flash, neutral density filter (for long exposures), a 50mm lens for portraits and when I want a very shallow depth of field. Tripod is handy.

Feedback

Have fun. Enjoy colours. Play with light and depth of field.
