Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in a chip shop in High Wycombe

Time

It was taken around 12:00 noon

Lighting

Only light used was natural sunlight coming through the large shop window

Equipment

I used a Sony, DSC-H300 bridge camera, which was my first digital camera

Inspiration

I was on a Photography for Begginers Course run by Marsh and Micklefield Big Local in High Wycombe. Our teacher, a professional photographer provided us with a model. We had a shoot in a small shopping parade where a local gardening group were setting up a floral display outside the shops.

Editing

No post processing carried out

In my camera bag

I have now progressed to a Nikon D5200 dslr with a AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G lens, A Tamron AF70-300mm f/4-5.6 lens and a Yongnou YN560 - IV speedlight. I also have a tripod and monopod

Feedback

I would recommend if you are a beginner to enrol on a course with a good teacher. It is good to have someone that knows what they are talking about to give you a good grounding in the basics. After that it is just practice as much as you can.
