Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was taken at the American Pickers store in Nashville, TN.

Time

It was taken mid-afternoon on a very sunny day.

Lighting

Some of the lighting was provided by the store lights and the rest came from the natural sunlight through the windows.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D7000 with my Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens. No flash was used or needed.

Inspiration

The combination of color and textures inspired me, along with the light coming through the window and making shadows everywhere.

Editing

To emphasize the cello and the copper cans I post-processed this photo with Photomatix Pro in HDR.

In my camera bag

A Nikon D7000 camera. Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-300mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Lens, a Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor 55-200mm f/4-5.6G lens and a micro lens, the Nikon AF-S DX Micro-NIKKOR 40mm f/2.8G Lens. I recently purchased a Fujifilm XT-1 camera and have been using that of recent with a Fuji 18-135mm lens and a 55-200mm lens.

Feedback

Look for the combination of medium - will they look good together in a shot? Are the colors, textures, etc, complimentary? Where is the light coming from? Take careful note of the direction of light and how and where the shadows are being displayed. Even a pile of junk can make a fine image if it is well composed with good light!
