Behind The Lens

Location

In my apartment,living room.

Time

Night

Lighting

No formula but I like control of light. If I have that it is set till I feel good.

Equipment

Camera sony A series was stolen so what I can't remember I can't check camera. Tripod full extension, background was made out of wood and painted. Back ground was placed level with floor.

Inspiration

Just followed a idea, is a concept about space.

Editing

I try not to process to much as I learn more trying to make it perfect after getting ready for final shoot.

In my camera bag

1 RB 67, due to situation 1 use a fujifilm fine pic s4850, which I modified for elimination of what I call busy image of unwanted non essential light. Due to some concepts I think exist in photography but are impossible to see. Image is not competitive to higher end cameras, but I don't feel bad as I try to make up for that with composition. And addition is a self designer light shutter a first as far as I can tell and did the 2nd and 3rd series of plastic flowers experiment. This gives me a unique factor in lighting. Another device I made is a calculated mirror lens which produces a unique image which does not lose a lot in focus depending on actions before shooting. So if I get noticed its a win for me. I do like old school composition and thinking to produce image effects. You can compete with programs and once in a while be on their level but a lot of thinking and custom setups usually is a must do so I enjoy it.

Feedback

First bit of advice, think before you shoot get some experience in this area, this gives you a data base and you need a base and why it works before you can find a new area to explore. What you shoot is not as important as how you shoot if you go this route. Subject matter can win a lot but ordinary objects and composition that are elevated to a level where the subject matter means little compared to the visual. Is the understanding you want to achieve.
