Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was takin at sheep grazing farm in northan Victoria. Thankfully it all came together because I've havent been able to get back there maybe never will.

Time

It is an early morning shot taken as the fog was just begining to lift and let the light through.

Lighting

It took a while to get the shot. The fog seemed like it was never going to lift. I was working at the time so i tried to kept going about my business while constantly looking over my shoulder.

Equipment

I shot this with my 700d using a Tamron 16- 300 lens and at the time, didnt have a tripod. This set up goes everywhere with me.

Inspiration

I was really captivated by the cart when i first saw it. I couldnt help but imagine it being yolked up to a horse, just slow rolling down some old dirt road. I never managed to get the story behind the cart as the farmer disappeared while i was emptying my truck.

Editing

The only adjustments made were done with the basic set that comes with the camera. I have only just recently had a first run at photoshop and am a long way being able to utilise it properly.

In my camera bag

I always have my camea with me in the truck. The 700d and 16-300 tamron lens, as well as a budget tripod (than can be knocked around) circular polarizer and ND filters and the usual cleaning gear. Still plenty more holes yet to be filled.

Feedback

I dont really think I'm on to be giving advice, but I will say this. Not every shot is going to be your greatest, but it will get you one click closer.
