Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was taken at the Maker's Mark distillery in Kentucky back in 2012. It's an interesting place if you find yourself in the area!

Time

This was shot mid-day during a tour of the distillery. I was touring on a motorcycle at the time, all I had with me was a little Panasonic point and shoot

Lighting

This was a pretty opportunistic shot, I did what I could to keep flares out of the little camera's lens

Equipment

This was simply shot hand-held with a little point and shoot Panasonic DMC-ZS6 camera. This was taken just before I took the plunge into DSLR phtography, but as I was on an adventure touring motorcycle 1500 miles from home I'm not sure I'd have had room for a DSLR anyway!

Inspiration

It was just an interesting piece set up for the tourists and caught my eye...

Editing

I did a bit of post to enhance lighting and colors, but as it was shot in JPG I was limited in what I could do

In my camera bag

These days I've fallen off the deep end with Canon DSLR equipment, but you don't always have that available - use what you have and make it work!

Feedback

Most point and shoot cameras thes days, and even cell phones, will take some pretty decent pictues - don't be afraid to get artistic!
