Behind The Lens
Location
Florida EvergladesTime
Around 4 in the afternoonLighting
The lighting was somewhat harsh so I used a portable studio strobe 800 with a location battery pack to fill the harsh shadowsEquipment
Nikon D200, 60mm Nikon Lens, tripod, studio strobe with battery packInspiration
She is the number 3 Paddle board in woman's class in the world and wanted a few images for her portfolio, We went to quite a few places in South Florida to shoot but the Everglades was one of the better ones. We had to make sure there were no alligators around during the shoot.Editing
Yes, The sky was great for black & white along with the backdrop of the Everglades. I shot in color, manipulated it in Photoshop to black & white and used some HDR not a lot ! If you over do this effect it makes women look too masculine and they lose their beauty. I then corrected the 10 zones from black to white as in the zone system.In my camera bag
