Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at a Steampunk festival in a vendor booth.Time
I honestly don't remember. Probably late morning or early afternoon.Lighting
I do remember that the light was fairly flat that day. The 5D was still kind of new to me at that time, so I was really changing settings around a lot to try and see what did and didn't work for me. This was taken with the natural light available.Equipment
This was shot with a 5DMkIII, hand held with a 70 - 200mm F2.8 wide open.Inspiration
A vendor was selling these and they just caught my eye as a neat little idea. Sheet Music as a flower, the representation of a musical idea coming into blossom, and the shallow depth of field was chosen to sort of enhance that thought......blurry at first, becoming clearer, more focused as it blossoms.....Editing
I think I was playing around with Silver FX at this time.....In my camera bag
It really depends on what I'm doing. For a day like this, I will bring the 70-200 F2.8 and a 24-105 F4 and not much else......maybe a single flash.Feedback
Just shoot what you feel. Try new things. Don't get caught up in technical details to much......be creative in your way and you'll find what works for you.
