Behind The Lens

Location

Picture taken at home in Herten, The Netherlands in the livingroom which became a big mess at the end. On my own, filling the cup while using remote shutter release. Result some coffee spilled, and the cookies had to be replaced by new ones, but I don't mind doing that.... ;-)

Time

I took it during the day, Took about 9 or 10 shots.

Lighting

On the right I had a Metz AF50 flash with Rogue flashbender to center the light triggered with Cactus V5, on the left white paper to bounce some light back to fill a bit of shadows on the beans. In the back a 5in1 reflector black side

Equipment

Nikon D7200, Tamron 24-70 F2.8 VC, Metz AF50, Cactus V5

Inspiration

Initially this picture was for another challenge about Warm Drinks (https://vinkacademy.nl/fotografie-challenge/hall-of-fame-warme-dranken/)

Editing

Used lightroom 6 to bring some shadows back, cropping bit, taking down the highlights, and changed the whitebalance to flash as otherwise it was to blue-ish.

In my camera bag

D7200, workhorse Tamron 24-70 2.8 VC connected, Tamron 70-200 2.8 VC and Nikon 50 1.8, cactus V5 trigger and metz AF50 with some polarizing and variable ND filters in a Lowepro Fastpack 250AW II

Have fun!
