Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in a little town in front of a horse stable in the south of Hamburg, Germany.Time
I can still remember the day, where i took this image. This image was one of the first i took with my new and first (now old) DSLR. It was a very cold and clouded morning. My family and I went for a morning walk after New Year. So the exact date was the 01-01-2011 at 10:57am. The horses were enjoining a fresh breeze through their windows.Lighting
I wasn't thinking about the lighting at that time. I was trying out my camera and due to the Exif Data I assume that i took this photo in full Auto-Mode. Nevertheless I was more concentrated to get this moment rather than to think about the lighting situation.Equipment
This was shot on a Nikon D7000 with the 18-105mm kit lens.Inspiration
The moment inspired me to take this photo. Walking through the snow seeing the horse in his "house" watching the people passing by throughout his window. Normally people look through their window to see what is happening outsideEditing
Yes I did pos-processing. I tried to simulate an film look, where the blacks aren't black but grayish. I obviously cropped the image and I tired to straighten it up. As you can see in my image, I didn't quiet get it straight. But I still like it. Nowadays I would edit it differently. Unfortunately I can't show you guys, since I lost the image because of my broken hard drive. Every rescue mission was a failure.In my camera bag
What is in my bag? Good question! This is my gear I always travel with: The Nikon D750 attached to it is the Nikkor 24mm 1.4. The second lens i take with me is the Nikkor 50mm 1.4. Sometimes I still take my retired Nikon D7000 as a backup camera. But this happens not very often. SD-Cards and batteries are essential things every photographer should have in his/her bag!Feedback
I would call my image an snapshot. I wasn't paying too much attention to the composition. Make sure if your are in a situation like me to take your time. Frame the subject carefully, maybe take a tripod with you and wait for the perfect moment. We can't force the horses to pose for us! So just go with the vibe and be patient.
