Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Elizabeth Park West Hartford Connecticut

Time

The time was 6 PM

Lighting

In the park there is a nice overview walkway with a bunch of trees and rocks surrounded around the light that was coming through at the time was spot on great shadows great illumination so lets see what it looks like in the camera.

Equipment

use My Nikon D750 24-85mm 3.5 Nikon lens use one speed light Nikon sb700 and Shoot through umbrellaWescott three-footAnd I used two pocket wizards plus IIIThe best thing I can say is pay attention to your surroundings outside when your shooting you never know when you have a prop walking to your shot. And also pay attention to the lighting as the sun starts to set

Inspiration

The well the young lady that I shoot she is an awesome upcoming model and the way the camera captures hers unbelievable as were doing are photo shoot in the park there was a young man walking his dog and the dog immediately ran up to her so from there I asked the young man it is possible to use this puppy for a quick photo op and he said go right ahead so from there that is where I captured that image from with only one take I was amazed when I saw the image lighting composition the the opposing and just the overall atmosphere of the photo

Editing

All that it did in light room use the brush pull back the highlights by -17 other than that that's the photo itself

In my camera bag

I have my three camera bodies d600 d750 d7000 24-85mm 14-24mm 70-200mm 105mm 90mm macro two speed light sb700 pocketwizard III and my 35mm.

Feedback

The best thing I can say always pay attention when you're shooting outdoors especially the lighting change as the sunt moves through the sky and always pay attention to the environment as it changes around you and be creative
