Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in schonbrunn palace gardens in Vienna, Austria.

Time

This was early evening around 6 or 7 p.m. in the summertime

Lighting

I made the picture slightly lighter to get a more ethereal look and to make the picture have clarity. It was hard to not get people in the shot so I chose to make them a feature instead. Using more light I wanted to make thos photo look like two people in a fairytale garden.

Equipment

Nikon D610. Standard zoom lens.

Inspiration

I saw two people at the end of the path that had stopped for a period of time. The light seemed to make a feature of them so I thought this would be a good picture to lead the eye into the distance. I think the light makes it look a bit like two people in a magic garden.

Editing

Yes. There was a little extra help in making the green of the foliage stand out. I wanted a certain kind of vibrance. I also sharpened aspects of the image and lightened the tunnel slightly in order to provide cleaner lines.

In my camera bag

Nikon D610. 50mm prime. 90mm prime.

Feedback

As an amateur I can only say keep looking and seeing. Keep patient. My lighting wasn't perfect and post editing made it pop. But if you 'see' the picture snap it for what you can correct later. Moments pass in a blink so it's not always possible to set up for the perfect picture.
