Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was shot at Benton, Kansas at Stearman Field at their annaul fly in.

Time

It was around 11 am

Lighting

I wasn't expecting a World War Two fighter at the event, but we looked up and this F4F did a low flyby and then landed. I took the photo shortly after he parked on the ramp

Equipment

Just a camera and a good eye, no fancy equipment.

Inspiration

I'm an aviation buff that's why I was at the fly-in. And a chance to get up close to a flying example of a World War 2 fight, and walk around it and speak to the pilot was a great opportunity. The plane was there, we had good weather and light so I took a series of photos.

Editing

Very little. Just some very minor color and contrast adjustments.

In my camera bag

The basics, camera, tripod, a reflector, spare batteries

Feedback

Just the fundamentals, shoot with your back to the sun, compose your shot well, get in focus and take several photos at the same angle so you have back ups. If you have good lighting don't over do your color corrections
