Behind The Lens
Location
In Pendleton, SC at the old oil mill.Time
Midday on an overcast day.Lighting
It was an overcast day so the light was diffused and ambient. It was a cool light so I felt like it lended to the mood of the image.Equipment
I ised my trusty Pentax K30 with a Sigma 16-50mm 2.8 lens.Inspiration
I'm really into history and symmetry in images. I xomposed with those ideas in mind.Editing
I sharpened it a bit as it was hand-held and bumped up the saturation of the blues a bit. I kept it simple because the colors and lines spoke for themselves.In my camera bag
Two camera bodies, both Pentax K30's. A hotshoe flash for filling in shadows on the occasion, many filters like a polarizer, neutral ND filters and some black and white filters. I usually stick with my favorite Sigma lens for everything but there are some Pentax primes in the bag. Can't beat a good prime!Feedback
Plan ahead for the weather and lighting and always be aware of the changes thwy could possibly make. Environmental awareness is what I call it.
