Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in a wonderful country house. He stood in the middle of the field, away from the city. This was my first forkshop on film in black and white photography. We were told a lot of theory, and then there was the practice. I had to shoot all 36 shots quickly to show the film myself. Sometimes you just have to pull the trigger without thinking about what you shoot, and just to see what happens in the end. At that moment, as if I was in a different reality, I did not hear anyone. In my head there was no unnecessary thoughts. I just took pictures with a smile on face and wild interest to see the result.

Time

It was the summer, in July. We spent the whole day on the farm. In the afternoon was the theory and in the evening, closer to sunset, we started taking pictures.

Lighting

Solar lighting for my camera at home was not enough, so I shoot with a tripod on a manual exposure (a few seconds). I was not sure that will be a good frame, or rather I did not think about the result. That's what I like in film photography - a foretaste of the total. The light was out the window next to the girl and had another window in front of her. Spot in the upper right corner is likely to highlight, or it happened during the development of film. In any case, it complements the picture and for my taste gives more magic.

Equipment

It was shot on film camera Zenit ET lens Zenithar-M 50mm / 1.7 and a tripod.

Inspiration

This girl was our model. I liked the way she looked at this cute kitchenette. I think she did not expect that the photo will be in full growth, and I liked how she hid her second hand. It was possible to take a picture at close range, but something made me pull back a tripod.

Editing

I removed the little white dots, defects which climbed after my self-developing, there were not many. And they can be left.

In my camera bag

So far, I have only two film camera Zenit ET lenses Helios 44M-5 58mm / 1.2 and Zenithar-M 50mm / 1.7, and Kiev-19 with lens Helios-81H 50mm / 2.0. When it is necessary to get a quick result or run a quick task, I otdalzhivayu Nikon D90.

Feedback

As for me, for a good shot needs the right atmosphere and environment. Then it seems that I am able to convey to the audience even the smell of the air that was there. And even a speck of dust flying in the air, as the fact that the house is not permanently live, complement the whole story.
