Behind The Lens
Location
This picture is taken outdoor - near an empty building, a formal camp - in a small village just outside the city.Time
we have started the shooting around 10 o'clock in the morning - in a really freezing day of December, just before Christmas - and we were speeding a little bit due to the cold weather.Lighting
Natural light only - it was cloudy - but sun was visible from time to time ...Equipment
I have used the Nikon D7100 together with the 85 mm prime lens (the Nikkor 1.8 AF-D - an excellent lens). I have narrowed a little bit the diaphragm to 2.8 in order to have a slightly larger DoF and a better sharpness of the image and, as a direct result - I have increased the ISO to 200 to compensate the light. No other equipment used at that moment - except for the fingerless gloves I use during the winter :)Inspiration
The model, the atmosphere, the background .. I wanted an image showing the nice body and face of the girl ...Editing
Only a minimal post-processing ... a little bit of contrast increaseIn my camera bag
My bag is small - but filled with a lot of equipment :) I always have in my bag the 85 mm, the 105 mm macro, the 16-85 mm and - depending on the type of shooting - I add either the 70-300 mm or the 12-24 mm. If I take the backpack - I add the 50 mm and the 35 mm. Beside these - I always have in my bag one flash. And - of course - the "small stuff" - replacement cards, accumulators, 1-2 filters, one Lenspen, one cap for the white balance set ...Feedback
needed ingredients for a good picture: a relaxed model, an open-minded photographer, a good atmosphere. And - by the way - it doesn't harm at all to have an open-minded model as well :) And - to not be afraid to try something different ...
