Behind The Lens

Location

On 2005 I was on a European tour with my choir which included a concert in Toulouse, France. Between rehearsals. Our time was our own so I was free to wander the streets looking for photo ops. The backlit workers and the dust thrown up by the labours proved irresistible.

Time

It was around noon as we were due back to the church for a sound check around 3:00 pm

Lighting

What makes this image work for me is the backlight highlighting the dust.

Equipment

This was shot with a Fuji S2 Pro, handheld

Inspiration

I was wandering the Toulouse streets deliberately looking for interesting situations when this one presented itself.

Editing

Yes it was post-processed but just with levels and clarity.

In my camera bag

My current equipment comprises a Fuji XT2, a Fuji 16mm f1.4, Fuji 18-135mm, and a Fuji 35mm f1.4

Feedback

Always be on the lookout for light and the direction from which it is shining.
