Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at Okakambe Horse Trails, in Swakopmund. I think this horse loves the camera - the more pictures I took, the closer he came. I am an amateur photographer andTime
It was around 16:30. I was waiting for people that I had to meet at Okakambe Horse Trials and as I waited, I took some pictures of the horses. The more pictures I took, the closer the horse came - almost as if he wanted to pose and have me taking photos of him.Lighting
This picture was taken with natural light - I love how the sun falls on his skin.Equipment
The picture was taken with a Canon EOS 650D, 50mm lens, ISO 200, F/3.5 and shutter speed 1/640. No other equipment was used.Inspiration
I was playing around with my camera in manual mode and trying out some settings I recently learned. As I took pictures and checked the settings, I noticed the one horse coming closer to me. I turned my focus on this horse and he really gave me some great opportunities for taking his picture.Editing
Yes, I worked in lightroom, as I feel this is a very user-friendly editing software, especially for beginners. I played around to enhance colour and create a shadow effect.In my camera bag
At the moment I only have a Canon 650D and 50mm lens.Feedback
I think it is all about your passion for photography and your willingness to learn. If you see something that you like, pic up your camera and go take pictures. See what works for you and try to better yourself with every picture you take. Be patient, believe in your abilities and most important, have fun!
