Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in Aurora, Colorado in Wheels Skate park.Time
Taken in the late afternoon.Lighting
The shadows were heavy at that time of day so I had to be careful and make sure I had the correct e posture for the skater facing me.Equipment
I took this with an iPhone 7+. No extra lens.Inspiration
I had just purchased the phone and was playing around with the camera. Went to the nearby skatepark, saw this gentlemen skating In and out of the shadows. I decided see how the camera could handle these tough lighting conditions. I was very pleased with the results.Editing
I converted it to black and white and adjusted the contrast.In my camera bag
2 Nikon D90 body’s, 70-200 f2.8 lens, 18-80 lens, 80mm f1.8 lens. 2 Nikkor flashes. Also my iPhone X.Feedback
Watch for cool shadows and other backgrounds to enhance your images. Make sure you expose for your main subject and not for the shadows.
