Behind The Lens

Location

I took this shot in Krakow main square just a few weeks ago.

Time

This was shot late in the late morning.

Lighting

Lighting wise it was dull and overcast with low clouds and very heavy rain at times.

Equipment

I'd used my Nikon D3200 to capture this. I usually shoot with a D7000 but due to weight restrictions on our flight I opted for my lighter camera with a 55-300mm lens. That's my favourite lens for street photography though some have questioned my judgment I'm sure the results I'm achieving speak for themselves.

Inspiration

I was sitting about 100 feet away under a heated parasol with a coffee just people watching and taking the odd shoot when I saw something I liked. When I saw this girl I thought "she's dedicated' and decided to capture her dedication with my own shot.

Editing

This was processed using Lightroom and Nik Colour Efex Pro with slight adjustments to the sharpness and colours with detail enhancement.

In my camera bag

Normally my D7000, D3200 and my Samsung NX CSC. Glass wise I have my 35mm, 10-24mm wide angle, 18-55mm kit lens and the 55-300mm I used to capture this. I've also a few ND filters for longer exposures. The most essential but of kit? Microfibre cloths for rainy days lime the one above.

Feedback

Take your time - drink in the scene before you. Just people watch. And snap what takes your fancy.
