Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in the beautiful suroundings in The Netherlands. It was a beautiful field filled with these bright cornflowers. The contrast of the yellow and blue while looking at this field was amazing so I had to take a picture of itTime
this part of the field was taken near the woods where some shadows could be seen. The rest of the fiels was in bright sunlight which gave the colors a chance to really stand outLighting
As I said this small part of the field was overshadowned by the trees of the woods. The bright colors behind it acted like a beautiful reflex for the background. There was no flash used, I always only use natural light with old lensesEquipment
The camera was a Sony A7 with a old manual lens Helios 44-2 58mm - 2. It was only handheld because without a tripod I feel much more free while taking a photo and finding new perspectives. It imporatant to know how to use your camera and knowing how to react to diffirent light for example. Have control over what you are doing and what may come. When you KNOW your camera by heart then YOU have the full control over it and can actually capture the photo that YOU want.Inspiration
The beautiful lighting in the field called to me and I love taking photos with the old manual lenses with a low aparture. Taking a photo of the nature as it is is just amazing to me.Editing
The post-processing happend in Adobe Photoshop with the lighting and contrast. The old manual lenses themselfs have a beautiful effect on their own so it doesn't need much post-processingIn my camera bag
Normally I bring a few of the manual lenses, always just a few so my bag is not too heavy. But usually I end up using just one beceause that one is the best of that specific ocassion. I only use natural light thats already there.Feedback
Look EVERYWHERE around you. Don't be afraid to look up or down from our persective Sometimes you will have deal with bad wearther, that's just the part of it Don't be afraid of the light wheter its the sun or fully clouded Do it because you enjoy it! This is so important! Have control over your devices, you are the boss of your ideas!
