Behind The Lens
Location
I live opposite an agricultural school with farm animals and ponds and dams, etc.... so I often wander around after the students have gone home with my camera.Time
This was late afternoon.Lighting
Gorgeous soft afternoon sun-setting light.Equipment
Nikon D70, hand-held, no flashInspiration
I loved that I could see not only the reflection of the main sheep in the water, but also see the sheep behind him reflected without actually being included in the image... the dam was murky but gave a lovely glass-like reflectionEditing
Very little post-processing (as I have no idea what I'm doing!)... tones, sharpening and straightening are my claim to fame!In my camera bag
I don't regard myself as a "photographer" so I don't have a bag, as such... my camera is always at the ready, usually on my desk or bench behind me - at best, I use a soft PJ bag before it gets thrown in my backpack - I use the one zoom lens always - 28mm-200mm - I'm a creature of habit - and just love taking photos at my own "granny" pace...I've always documented my life and surrounds through my camera - since I was a child.Feedback
No, no advice for anyone... just enjoy the details around you, life is intricately woven; keep observing and viewing from standard as well as unique angles - go behind the subject sometimes to get a different perspective - but most of all enjoy the process, never stop wandering, wondering and observing!
