Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken from my former flat in Zagreb (Croatia)

Time

As it was shot on film and digitalized, can't say I remember. It could have been sometime after 2200 hours...

Lighting

Entirely natural, with flash added to highlight the flakes and droplets.

Equipment

Camera: Olympus IS3000 (35-180mm), a photo scanned from Fujichrome Sensia100ASA film.

Inspiration

I think I was just experimenting in some interesting weather. :)

Editing

The digital photo is as close as I could get it from what the film has registered, but I can't remember what all was tweaked...

In my camera bag

To me it is easier to carry a photo vest than any photo bag. So I load my photo vest with whatever I might need for my photo session, walk or trip. My photo bags usually keep the equipment I'm not using at the moment. The vest's many pockets usually contain two cameras, spare batteries, ND and CPL filters, and one small photo clamp instead of a tripod. Sometimes I'll include a small action camera, mainly for its wide field of view and resistance to water and weather. The vest has large-lens pockets that holds a small water bottle, a sandwich, or a bar of chocolate if I plan on being out for the whole day. There is about three meters length of paracord or similar strong, thin rope, one hefty pocket knife, and a lighter. With these, much can be "mcgyvered" along the way, so that's all I need. Recently I make it even more comfortable for me, and take the essentials along in a waist pouch. Simplicity and comfort; two best ingredients in most situations!

Feedback

EXPERIMENT!!! :) It has never been cheaper and quicker than nowadays!
