Behind The Lens
Location
In Zagreb, Croatia, a fair / market of new and used photo equipment is occasionally organized. I was at one such fair and within the fair there were also photo workshops with rented models and basic lighting and a gray background. About a hundred visitors photographed this model and so this photo of mine was also taken there.Time
It was 15:06 in the afternoon... indoors.Lighting
The light was artificial. One small photographic reflector with a scattering effect for softer lighting but not very soft.Equipment
I used an Olympus E-3 body with a Zuiko Digital zoom lens 12-60mm @ 37mm, ISO 200 and f: 4 aperture. Handheld.Inspiration
A rare opportunity (for me) to photograph a nude model was a good inspiration to try to take a good photo of a beautiful girl in rather unfavorable conditions (a bunch of photographers).Editing
In addition to converting the color photo to black and white in the Photo Shop, I only adjusted the exposure, contrast, and focus and highlighted the details a bit with the Topaz filter.In my camera bag
When I go on foot I wear Olympus E-3 and Zoom lenses f: 2.8-4, 12-60mm and f: 2.8-3.5, 50-200mm. When I go with the car I also take the Olympus E-520, f: 2 50 mm macro, teleconverter 2x, sometimes I want to shoot with an old OM reflective (mirror) f: 8 500 mm lens. I rarely use the flash and tripod, mostly at home.Feedback
Whenever possible, have some of your photo equipment with you and take every opportunity to take an interesting photo.
