Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at a VW gathering in Margam South Wales several years ago.

Time

Around mid afternoon I had the opportunity to take a closer look at some of the vans on show, great light plenty of room and limited access so no crowds.

Lighting

Simple naturally lit, it was a beautiful day, I always try to use natural light when at all possible..

Equipment

Canon EOS-1Ds MK111, natural light, no flash I think I was using my Canon 24-70mm 1:2.8 L USM.

Inspiration

Great subjects, the VW's are spilt into several categories and I really like the 'Rat' Style vans with all the patina and artificially created rust detailing.

Editing

Ran it through Lightroom and just tweaked it a little to where I thought it showed the real character of the van.

In my camera bag

Still running the EOS-1Ds MK111 or a 1D MK111 and either my Canon 24-70mm 1:2.8 L USM or EF 70-200mm 1:2.8L IS USM. Covers most situations as I generally shoot landscapes and surfing whilst on the move. I have longer lenses but I'm too impatient to take a spot and sit for hours waiting for the right shot.

Feedback

Keep moving, always looking for interesting ideas and subjects, don't pigeonhole yourself.
