Behind The Lens
Location
At home on my dining room table.Time
Late afternoon. We had had nice big family roast, beautiful piece of beef, Yorkshire puddings and all the trimmings that go with it. After clearing away I had just finished waxing the table and placed my iPad down on it...Lighting
Just natural light from a large French window and the overhead ceiling lighting above the table.Equipment
My fujifilm S5 Pro was mounted on the tripod, standing on the table to get the perfect overhead shot.Inspiration
It was pure inspiration. I had just waxed the table and placed my iPad down on it to answer a call. As I looked round I saw the iPad there and the grain of the wood and the image I wanted to produce just popped into my head. One of those occasions where seeing one thing sets your Ming racing off on a tangent and you can Immediately visualise an end result that you want to achieve.Editing
This was just a series of layers of the same picture, rotated and sized to fit inside the screen of the iPad on the layer bellow. There was a touch of washout in the wood where the overhead light glared a little but Lightroom and photoshop recovered the grain and lifted the image beautifully.In my camera bag
I currently carry my S5 pro, my older S3 pro, a Nikon 18-55mm DX LENS, a Nikon 50-200mm DX-VR lens, my trusty old 70-300mm sigma and a speedlight. A inherited a large selection of cokin filters that I am starting to experiment with now also.Feedback
Let you mind run free. Like any art form photography should not just be about reproduction of what the eye sees but of what you can imagine you see. Play, experiment and create.
