Behind The Lens

Location

The photo is taken in the Czech Republic in the woods near the town of Hradec Kralove in which I live and work. I'm amateur photographer and a model I became friends.

Time

The photograph was taken sometime in the late afternoon, my friend had borrowed the Canon 70-200 lens and then I had to try it. Once upon a time created a lot of photography, this I liked the most about for its immediacy and relaxed.

Lighting

The sun light shining through the trees, the model's go back to direct the beams of light and my face lit up the reflective plate. I love backlit.

Equipment

At that time I owned a Canon 40D, the lens I had borrowed a Canon 70-200 f-4 and the reflective plate.

Inspiration

Prefer to shoot portraits and lidi.Chodili we are in the woods around the pond and looking for different neighborhoods. If I remember correctly, this place was overgrown with grass and thistles.

Editing

Retouching photo I like, I like to learn new procedures and techniques. This photo was quickly done, transfer of RAW in Lightroom, Photoshop retouching light face and eyes, then subsequent conversion to BW program NIK Software.

In my camera bag

Over the last two years I obmn?nil their equipment. Everything I bought Use the bazaar, but I'm very happy. He bought a dream full frame camera Canon 5D Mark II, Canon 17-40 f4 and Sigma 70-200 f 2.8. Two reflecting plates and flash Canon 580th

Feedback

Firstly, apologies for the English - not speak English and translate text using Google translate. I grew up in a totalitarian regime where we are taught only in Russian language. If I can give advice to all amateurs to which belong, so I know that when I photograph more often photos are better, everything is an effort, and I have less "waste" - so, shoot, shoot, shoot .......
