Behind The Lens
Location
This shot was taken in Munich. It was a cloudy weather with some sun coming through sometimes. We walked through the city and we found that beautiful little park where this path was covered with wires and all those plants. I loved the way it composed the background and this beautiful bokeh.Time
It was at afternoon, when the sun came down already a bit. So the surrounding buildings caused a shadow for my model.Lighting
I wanted this fairy-tale look in this picture and with the tunnel and the light in the background, I just had to put a silver reflector between us (a bit rfrom the ight, as you can see from the highlights in her eyes).Equipment
Just my Nikon D800e, a reflector and my favourite Lens, the Leica Summicron-R 50mm f/2 - yes it's a strange combination which I had to build by myself, because there is no adapter for this lens, but you can buy the Nikon mount and so you can remove the original mount and replace it. Since there is not one electronic thing in this lens, it's not a big thing and the bokeh of this lens is worth it!Inspiration
Lara, she's great!Editing
Yes, I had to work a bit with the colors and the face because it was a bit underexposed in this composition to preserve the highlights in the background.In my camera bag
My cam and three lenses: 35 - 50 - 85 ;)Feedback
Oh I think you can shoot similar pictures in a wooden bridge ore something else. Look for things that build a channel in the background and that maybe give you an interesting bokeh.
