Behind The Lens

Location

The photo of this group of trees was taken in smalltown Waimate in the South Island of New Zealand.

Time

Taken In the early evening light.

Lighting

I have found that a backlight photo often casts beautiful shadows and great detail.

Equipment

I use the Nikon D7100 & D800 primarily and one of my favorite all round lenses is the Nikkor 16-85mm. Really great for landscapes and just about anything else I want to shoot.

Inspiration

I have taken many photos of this particular group of trees, the just look so picturesque in the evening light.

Editing

I always post process my images to gain the greatest tonal and colour quality that I can achieve, after all it's great looking images that we like to see.

In my camera bag

I usually carry the bare essentials but always make sure I have a fully charged battery before I set out. My tripod is something I like to have with me also, especially in the fading light where steadiness is imperative.

Feedback

Trial and error is the best advice I can give...and don't be afraid to play around in photoshop, many a time I have thought to dump an image and with a little extra time with processing it can become a beauty.
