Behind The Lens

Location

This what was taken at the good speed opera house in Connecticut.

Time

It was about 9pm that night where my friend and I had been driving around different local areas trying to find a good spot to get a photo shoot in that night. This was the third and final spot that we had arrived to. It was perfect the sun had already been set for about a half an hour.

Lighting

When I found this location I loved how the tree to the right had perfect lighting from a telephone near by.

Equipment

When I took this photo I had only owned my DSLR for about 2 weeks. I think this picture really shows you don't need high end gear to get the photo done. I had a t6i rebel with the standard 18mm-50mm kit lens. All mount on a 25$ tripod from eBay ment for go-pros.

Inspiration

I personally love landscape photos.

Editing

I hadn't discovered RAW photo file format yet. Did very little post processing in light room. The only thing that I had really adjusted was the over all ex poser and increased the sharpness.

In my camera bag

I don't own much gear since I took this picture I have purchased a 16-300m tamron lens which I keep on my camera. All that is in my bag is a lens pen. In the future I plan on buying an extra battery and SD card. Also be nice to get some straps from peak design I really like there products just haven't had the money yet to buy one.

Feedback

Do what I did watch some youtube videos on how to take photos and go out and get the SHOT!!
