Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken at a "Heritage Day Festival" in Troy, PennsylvaniaTime
This was late morning on a very overcast dayLighting
The light was typically flat on this dreary dayEquipment
I was shooting with my Nikon D7100, the lens, a Nikon 18-85...no tripodInspiration
The goal for the day was to capture anything and everything that attracted my imagination. I was most drawn to those in uniform, looking for perspective and composition for non-distracting backgrounds, or complementary onesEditing
I cropped a bit, and converted from color to B&WIn my camera bag
This was a very light carrying day, camera and lens only...since I knew it was going to a very long day...and I wanted a lot of flexibility without carrying a lot of equipmentFeedback
Festivals can be gold mines, opportunities beyond the imagination. Learn to see without camera and lens, imagine composition before reaching for the camera. Always look beyond your subject to whatever else is in the composition. As I always say: "Eliminate the extraneous crappola."
