Behind The Lens

Location

On a greenlane about 7 Kms from my house, Montes de Oro, Cordillera de Guanacaste.

Time

Before midday , in the afternoon the light isn't favourable there.

Lighting

All natural, no headlamps needed

Equipment

A client's Land Rover Defender I was testing after extensive work, my Nikon and the lovely old 18mm f4 Nikkor from the 80s

Inspiration

I was happy to test the car, happy everything was working so I decided to take it on a tougher track to test again. This is one of my all time favourite green lanes with beautiful views. It was a happy moment and I lined the Land Rover up nicely

Editing

Yep, bit of contrast correction and then it went into Exposure 3 for the BW treat. It is a modified Agfa 25 setting with orange filter.

In my camera bag

A very wide angle like the Venus 12 mm or this 1980 vintage 18mm which fits in a pocket, an all-round 24-70, a Sigma 180mm macro and a Tamron 300 2.8 which is from the 80s as well.

Feedback

Get a beautiful car and look for a great spot where the two complement each other Don't hesitate to photograph a favourite spot often, like that you can relate to your archive to chose the right time and weather
