Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken on a night out with my Mother who was visiting us in SpainTime
This was evening and it was indoors, so not much natural light was availableLighting
First of all I wanted this shot to look as natural as possible, so you could imagine yourself being there, no false lighting or props usedEquipment
This was shot with my Canon 5d Mark 11 and my 50mm lens, no tripod, but I used a spare table near by for a few shots for the long exposureInspiration
I wanted to get a natural photo of the Flamenco with a twist! something a bit different, so it looks like they are still dancingEditing
Apart from turning it to Black & White, that's all I have done, as I wanted to keep it as natural as possibleIn my camera bag
Normally, i would have my Canon 5d and my Canon 50d with my 50mm lens, 100mm lens (macro) and my 70-300mm.. depending on where I go, I might take my tripod, my speedlite and softbox with grid etcFeedback
I think that anyone with some knowledge can take the best photos ever, just try and do something different, even if it goes against the norm! also dont expect to get it right first time, although with these photos, I think i got lucky...keep looking and the will find!!!!
