Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at Royal National Park (Bundeena), Sydney Australia.Time
This is my one of the favourite images. we (me, model and 2 friends) left home around 8 o'clock in the morning because we have to go two location on that day. So on the way we stop over at Mac' and had some brekkie. we reached there around 10/11am and it's one and half hour bush walk (one way) and it was our time at this location, got no clue about the tracks.This cliff is called wedding cake rock and we started to ask local people about the location and tracks. It was so funny while asking the questions and one of the lady said, oooh... you mean the rock that looks like cheese cake and i said yes. So finally that lady showed us the direction. We started our walk carrying all gears and props, and we're like dead man walking while returning, got sun burn as well because we forgot bring sun block and the day after getting up from bed was the worse part ever. Had kinda adventurous day.Lighting
I wanted this image to be look like mystery and draw the viewers attention towards the scene and drama, the girl is enjoying with nature somewhere in mystery island.Equipment
Canon 5d Mark iii, 24mm @ f8 iso250 shutter1/400 and tripod.Inspiration
I was looking for a place, something unique to do conceptual shoot. I saw this wedding cake rock image on one of my friends Face Book wall.Editing
This image is panorama shot. Not sure how many images i stitched, maybe 10. All post production done in photoshop. I used hue and saturation, colour balance, etc.In my camera bag
Normally in my bag i have 5d mark iii (5d mark ii as a backup), 70-200mm f2.8 ii, 85mm f1.2 ii, 50mm f1.4, 24mm f1.4, 35mm lens baby, 580 exii flash and some extra battery.Feedback
My advice for those who is trying to capture something similar like this is first do location scouting. Only take necessary gears, pre-plan your images before you head to shoot on location, like if you need any props get things ready.
