Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the comfort of my own bedroom.

Time

This was around about 8 pm at night.

Lighting

I was in this dark room with only a light I use to read at nigh. Those lights you string around your neck so you can be considerate of people around you.

Equipment

All I used was a simple blackberry 8520 phone at that time and also a reading light.

Inspiration

I was in my own head. I don't know exactly what made me do it but I decided to take the photo of myself. When I saw it afterwards I loved it.

Editing

Yes just some tweeks in photoshop. Like slightly adjusting lighting. Sharpening the image. Lessening the noise. Nothing else really had to be done.

In my camera bag

Well now I have my Canon and a standard lens.

Feedback

Sometimes the best photos are the ones you take when your not constantly thinking.
