This photo i is taken in one sunny day "???????" Bulgaria.Time
This is probably one of my favorite images. Long time my niece was asking for good photos for her Facebook. This is result. This is one of not many time when i didn't have time limit and result after near 2h shooting photos, result was best till now. More then 30 good and maybe near 10 very good pictures (this one is from very good after editing), great result for my skills.Lighting
Long time i was asking myself what is golden hour. This picture is made in it . It is not clear example for it, because it is not shot on direct light. I remember that colors were so beautiful.Equipment
I didn't use any special equipment only my Nikon D90 camera and 1.8 50mm lens.Inspiration
In my pictures i always trying to catch emotions. I am not so good in taking pictures some times it took me 20 pictures to choose one that i like, but this one picture should have emotion in it or some story. This picture i choose for the light and positive feelings that she create.Editing
When i am doing post-processing of picture that i like i usually experiment a lot. For this picture i found out that when i put one of Vintage filters on Photoshop, it give more space (making plants behind like 3d) and put focus on the girl too. I use some blur on some parts. I use some vignette too.In my camera bag
My camera nikon D90,1.8 50mm, 18-105mm or 80-300mm and SB-700 AF Speedlight. I like a lot 80-300mm lens of nikon it makes good pictures and easy to use, 1.8mm 50mm makes good picture but it is hard to use need more planing can do pictures on low light . 18-105mm not give such nice result as the other two but it is easy to use. My bag is not big so i not carry 80-300mm or 18-105mm depend of where i am going.Feedback
For Black and white photos light is even more important so be careful were is light is . Where is the light there is focus so try most light to be on object that you need to show. Try your pictures in filters of BW why some of them looks great there - try to find out why. Watch BW moves and good pictures made in BW .
