Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in Serralves Museum in Oporto, Portugal, during an exhibition.Time
This photo was taken in th morning of 06/09/2011, while I was seeing an art exhibition in the Serralves Museum. There was this manequim woman, mechanical controled, moving in a delimited space. the window behind made the perfect ambience, and there's only one chance to take the shot.Lighting
there's a difuse light that comes from a window in the back of the manequim woman, that creates a unique and perfect environment.Equipment
This photo was taken with a Nikon D2x, 28-200 macro lens, ISO 400, aperture f/6.3, focal distance 28mmInspiration
I really don't know. It was something more like a feeling. I was passing through the several pieces of art that are in exhibition and that "woman" completely call my attention. First because it was controlled mechanically and walking in circles in a small area. Then the diffuse light that come from the back totally transforms the ambience of the room. The manequim pumps out from the rest of the space, marking only the silhouette with high constrast.Editing
Made the conversion to black and white because my machine doesn't have the option to take in black and white, and adjust the tonesIn my camera bag
I always have my nikon D2x, my 10-20mm lens and a 28-200mm macro, for diferent aproachsFeedback
