Behind The Lens

Location

We have a number of residential subdivisions in my area that have lakes surrounding or meandering through them. I often walk along paths that wind through them. I always carry my camera on those walks. I keep a lookout while walking for scenes or conditions that appeal to my senses. Somewhat instinctive! If it strikes you that it may make a good photo generally it turns out that way. With me anyhow. More than often the view is a good photo.

Time

Early morning is the best. When the light is a bit diffused, the air is clear and the still and sun sun is at a lower angle which highlights your subject scene.

Lighting

Equipment

It varies, sometimes my Nikon SLR however the cameras in the modern phones have exceptional qualities and I always have it with me so a number of my shots are taken with it as well. I have a Samsung Galaxy S8.

Inspiration

Generally the scene will strike me as appealing.

Editing

On my black and white mostly.

In my camera bag

Nikon SLR 3400 and Samsung Galaxy S8.

Feedback

Trust your instincts.
