Behind The Lens

Location

I took the photo on the freight apron at Lanseria International Airport in South Africa, I am a young photographer not even out of school yet so when I get the chance to go out to take photos I try my best to try new angles and techniques.

Time

I took the photo late afternoon just after one of the famous Highveld thunderstorms had cleared up and just before the next came in.

Lighting

I really wished for this picture to show off the old elegance of this beautiful machine of the 20th century in a black and white colourscape accentuated by the majestic cloud lines.

Equipment

Canon 7D MkI Canon 15-85mm f3.5-5.6 Handheld

Inspiration

A love for aviation and the dominance of the size of the IL76 at Lanseria

Editing

No, the original image is always best!

In my camera bag

Canon 7D MkI, Canon 1100D, Canon Ef 70-200mm L f4, Canon 15-85mm f3.5-5.6, Canon 18-55mm, Sigma 70-300mm f4-5.6, Sigma Flash, UV and polarisation filters

Feedback

Try anything, be bold, be ambitious, photograph the obvious because often others miss it
