Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at home in my hallway.

Time

Middle of the day, but in a dark room.

Lighting

Studio lighting. You can watch me create this photo on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2PjoDBgDhI

Equipment

My Sony a77, Zeiss 24-70 f2.8 and two lights. My key light is a 22inch beauty dish on a b800 and my rim light is a Sony speedlight behind pointing up (effectually down)

Inspiration

I wanted to try to capture the feeling of something slipping away from you.

Editing

Yes; This photo was shot upside down, so i needed to flip it vertically. Other then that, the post processing was minimal. I did some lightroom adjustments and some dodging and burning.

In my camera bag

If I am out in general, I usually keep my a77 with me and my 3 core lenses... 11-16 2.8, 24-70 2.8 and 70-200 2.8. With those lenses, I am ready for almost any situation.

Feedback

Watch my YouTube video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2PjoDBgDhI and be prepared to take a lot of shots and get very smokey!
