Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Hanoi Vietnam at a place where women and couples go to have photographs taken while wearing traditional Vietnamese costumes.Time
This photo was taken around noon on my first visit to this location.Lighting
I would love to say it was a beautiful sunny day, but in truth it was a normal January day. It had been raining in the morning and the clouds had now started to fade away.Equipment
At the time I was using my Pentax K30 DSLR with a 70-300mm lensInspiration
I was walking around the park when I noticed her. Her outfit and the was she was surrounded by the flowers reminded me of something you might see in a Japanese painting. I couldn't resist the opportunity.Editing
The only post processing I did was to remove a "selfie" stick she was holding. Beyond that I felt the photo was perfect.In my camera bag
I now use a Nikon D5600 As My Photography interests are varied I carry as much as I can stuff into my bag. This includes a Nikkor 18-55mm standard lens, Nikkor 70-=300mm zoom lens, as well as a Nikkor 10-20mm wide angle lens and a Sigma 150-600mm telephoto lens. I also carry a Neewer NW580 speedlight.Feedback
The world is a fascinating place. You never know what you are going to come across so always be ready. I rarely go out on a preplanned mission to take a particular photo. I do go out to take photos but usually let inspiration find me. If you go out and let the photograph find you all you need to do is capture the moment.
