Behind The Lens
Location
I took it in my front yard. We had islands of grass that divide my street so two way traffic. This Tom was visiting our neighborhood. He was brave and stood up to me. My family was yelling at me to come away. I love close ups so I wanted a chance to capture all his beautiful colors. I m a hobby photographer so my drive and choices are personal.Time
It was about 3 in the afternoon on a weekend. Beautiful day. The huge trees on the islands are sycamore and their white peeling bark added to the other shots I got of his flock of girlfriends.Lighting
The light was filtered and added to the brightness and highlights.Equipment
My camera and my hands and feet.Inspiration
Animals,color, life and timingEditing
I don’t remember if any, lightning the shadows. Maybe sharp. It was hand held so that might have been one as well.In my camera bag
I carry an opposite lenses. If I have zoom I carry a 50. I take my flash if it’s late in the day. Cleaner and wipes. Simple bag which is a backpack.Feedback
Luck, pure luck. It wasn’t planned or time consuming planning my shots. I rely on my eyes and feet to find my love shots. My #5’s. If your expecting a photographer term or a great trip in nature I’m afraid I don’t use them. My hobby covers my walls in my home, my taste I’m afraid. It would be nice, especially for my family who have sacrificed for my camera and lenses to see a pro pat my back and say good job. in fact they would really hail my shot.
