Behind The Lens

Location

This capture was in studio in St. John's NL. It was a learning experience using both natural and OCF. Difficulties with an extra floppy, floppy sun hat made for smiles all round.

Time

Late afternoon in July.

Lighting

Used a bay window in the studio to fully light the face and a strobe from a distance directly behind me balancing the light.

Equipment

NikonD800 with a Nikkor 24-70 2.8. Alien Bee strobe.

Inspiration

Had been out of the studio for far too long and needed to get back. My wife and mentor suggested this shoot.

Editing

Black and White conversion only.

In my camera bag

D800, D750 camera bodies. 24-70, 80-200and 60mm Nikkor lenses. SB910 flash.

Feedback

Check test and retest your light. The more you can do in camera the less in post and gives you a cleaner end product, IMHO.
