Behind The Lens

Location

I took the photo at my terrace.

Time

Shooting time was 10:16 in the morning.

Lighting

Lighting was all natural.

Equipment

I used an Olympus E-520 camera body and an Olympus Digital f: 2.8-4, 12-60mm Zoom lens @ 12 mm, handheld.

Inspiration

Curious to see what was in the broken computer monitor, I disassembled it and found various foils in it. One of them had linear patterns that deformed the image when bending the foil. Experimenting a bit I got the idea to try to take a few shots up close, because at a greater distance nothing could be seen through the foil. Of course, the foil was between me and the camera.

Editing

Only conversion to B&W in Photo Shop was done and some sharpening.

In my camera bag

When I go on foot I wear Olympus E-3 and Zoom lenses f: 2.8-4, 12-60mm and f: 2.8-3.5, 50-200mm. When I go with the car I also take the Olympus E-520, f: 2 50 mm macro, teleconverter 2x, sometimes I want to shoot with an old OM reflective (mirror) f: 8 500 mm lens. I rarely use the flash and tripod, mostly at home.

Feedback
