Behind The Lens
Location
I photographed this at a reclamation warehouse where they sell old doors and items .Time
Daytime but in a dark warehouse with just natural and florescent light.Lighting
Lighting was dark in the warehouse so I had to be still but I liked the short depth of field and added a tiny bit of warmth in post production.Equipment
Hand held, no flash. Nikon 800E with 85MM 1:18 lens.Inspiration
Exploring antiques with the beautiful rust and dust.Editing
Yes. I always shoot in RAW (NEF) and am able to shift the colors and shadows a bit to add more richness. I can also play with edges, tints and shadows once in Photoshop. I do all of my post production in Photoshop 6. Over the years, I have created actions to add certain effects and layers of textures or tints which adds more emotion to my images. This image did not have any actions used in the processing. In the old days when I used film, I relied on a pro lab to improve on the capture. There wasn't much creativity in the process. Now with digital capture, I am the photographer and the lab. Its so exciting to be able to enhance and paint with my mouse.I do think the process gives the photographer much more control and options for a myriad of creative choices. The end results are a more emotional image. I happen to be a painter as well who sells internationally and also teach painting. As an artist, my experience with color, light and composition affects how I frame an image.In my camera bag
My Nikon 800E with 85mm prime lens, NikonD700 with a zoom lens 200-70 or maybe a wide angle like 20mm. It depends on what I am shooting of course. If its a family portrait, I add a couple speed lights, rack, metallic/white collapsible bounce. For nature and other shoots, I keep it simple. I rawly haul a tripod unless its an evening shoot. I have gotten good at NOT breathing and hand holding my camera on trips.Feedback
Avoid flash completely, work with the available light and if necessary, have a fill card to enhance dark areas.
