Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken by me in my city - Cherkessk. On the photo there is a city fountain near the City Hall.

Time

Daytime

Lighting

natural sunlight

Equipment

Pentax K20D, PentaxDA*200 2.8

Inspiration

To make this photo I was prompted by the emotions of people at the city fountain. Cool water jets on a hot summer day caused joy not only for children, but also for their parents. And then I saw these mother and daughter

Editing

I try not to go too far with post-processing images. I try to preserve the natural landscape. But a small processing naturally present. in particular ACDSee Pro

In my camera bag

in my bag is usually a lot of equipment. Are mainly equipment by Pentax. Normally two chambers - it is currently full frame K-1 and K-3 crop. As always a few lenses. Are mainly the same Pentax - DA 10-17 3.5-4.5 Fisheye, DA 12-24 4, DA 17-170 4, DA*50-135 2.8, DA*200 2.8, FA 50 1.4, FA 77 1.8 Limited, FA 100 2.8 macro FA* 250-600 5.6. also has a pair of lenses from other manufacturers-Samyang 14 2.8 and Sigma 20 1.8. And old soviet lenses - Helios 44M-4, MIR -10A, TAIR -3s. On the shooting I usually take 4-5 lenses. Also I have a carbon fiber tripod with a ball and a panoramic heads

Feedback

My advice is to watch the city life more often. It contains many plots for photography. in this case I used a lens with a long focal length - in order to remain undetected for shooting objects. In order for the people's emotions to remain sincere and the photo does not turn out to be staged
