Behind The Lens

Location

In our living room. I live in the Netherlands in a city called Eindhoven. I now live in a appartment, but I'm going to move to a familyhome next month. A house with a garden that I will enjoy and my two cats too!

Time

Pixie lay on the coffee table in the afternoon. He's not allowed to actually, but he lay there so sweet. :-) So I quickly grabbed my camera and took some pictures of him.

Lighting

It was quite a spontaneous 'shoot' and I was using the nice daylight that came through the window, as simple as that.

Equipment

My Nikon D90 and my Nikon 50 mm 1.8 lens.

Inspiration

I always enjoy looking at Pixie and my other cat Sprite. Pixie has such a wonderful calm appearance when he is at rest. He calms me when I look at him! Sometimes I even get emotional then, but it is out of a pure happiness. In this crazy world we all need moments of rest and peace. And Pixie gives me these moments besides moments of joy and laughter.

Editing

Yes. I don't remember exactly what I did because it has been a while since I took this photo. But I always use Photoshop. I made a warm black and white version with probabaly not one, but a few tools. Recently I have started to use Nik software. Great filters that save me a lot of time.

In my camera bag

My Nikon D90, Nikon 18-200, Nikon 80-400 and a 50 mm 1.8. And sometimes my 105 mm macro.

Feedback

See the beauty of 'simple things' not only for a great picture on your memory card, but more so for great pictures in your memory! :-)
