Behind The Lens

Location

Runcu, Valcea county, ROMANIA. My soul place where i find peace and balance emotional after a day's work

Time

At sunset, 6:30 PM in march 2015.

Lighting

Warm sunset light, put in value in a coutrejour frame.

Equipment

Nikon D3100 body and 18-55 mm lens. No flash, no tripod.

Inspiration

In picture are three romanian peasants, who resting after a day's work in their pear orchard, stand leaning against the sacks filled with pears, leaving his horse to rest, before loading the bags in the cart and go home. It is a classic image of country life in Romania, which i immortalized her, trying to recall the atmosphere and tranquility of evenings hill.

Editing

Only small touches in lightroom.

In my camera bag

Now i use Nikon D7100 body and 50mm nikon lens, 55-200 mm nikon lens and 17-50 mm sigma lens. In my wish list is 11-16 mm tokina lens.

Feedback

First advice... visit Romania. :) You must know your equipment, and even if the entry level, do not to be afraid to try to play with light, follow the general rules of a countrejour photos. Interact with people and ask them permission to take a picture. Photography is the art of communicating in pictures, and you must be passionate about the subject you are shooting,and then you get very good results.
