Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken at home in the garden.Time
Not sure but shot in the shadow a bright daylightLighting
It was a bight day but I choose the open shade of the house to get the soft shadow effect.Equipment
Nikon D300 and my favourite portrait lens a macro 60mm prime. Very simply setup. Bubs was placed on a pale blanket. Mum was attracting her gaze.Inspiration
Thi is my only daughter so that was inspiration in itself. I had decided to experiment with a high key effect.Editing
The shot was deliberately over exposed to get the high key effect using manual settings. Simple b/w conversion and exposureand cotrast adjustments.In my camera bag
I find I am carrying less and less. It's not about the gear but the eye and vision of the photographer.Feedback
It's all about the eyes. Keep it simple.
