Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my yard

Time

It was very early in the morning, a little bit of light from sunrise.

Lighting

I noticed that the light from the sunrise was lighting up her breath at this cold morning and I used that for my photo.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D7000 with the Tamron 18-200 mm lens. No tripod, no flashlight or other things.

Inspiration

My girl was very sick and every morning was another night she survived. I took a lot of photo's in these weeks of her. Never thought this would be one of THE photos that everyone likes. It was for me just a lucky shot, just a shot to capture moments for myself.

Editing

The only thing I did was putting it in Lightroom, changing it into B&W and after that remove a little light in the background.

In my camera bag

I normally shoot with Lensbaby lenses and optics. And I use the Tamron a lot. I never go away without a extra battery and a lenspen. I don't need more for my photography.

Feedback

Put the light behind your object. Be very early in the morning, or later in the sunset. There must be light, but not too much. Play with the light. Move your feet to get the result you want.
