Behind The Lens

Location

Took that photo on the farm of our neighbours in a very small village in Northern Germany

Time

Late afternoon. Piggeldies always get a snack at this time.

Lighting

Flash came by mistake.

Equipment

Used a poor cam, a hp photosmart 720. That was my first digital-camera. (This photo is over 15 years old) The ugly flash came automatically (sorry, piggies !!). Never use flash for animal photos.

Inspiration

Piggies are always inspiring.

Editing

only cutting

In my camera bag

In this time (how I said above, this photo is over 15 years old) I Had a Nikon analog cam , a Miranda analog (awesome camera), and all kinds of analog glasses. I still use them with adapters on my Pentax K5 now, together with some very good Minolta and Soligor analog lenses). My "newest" lens is a Novoflex400 from 1980. Great lens but it takes some practice. A very fine lens for everyday use is the Sigma 18-200. It looks unspectacular, but is a highlight under the cheaper models.

Feedback

Move to the ground when taking pics of pigs :D. And how I said above: Don´t use a flash when taking pictures of animals. They´re always scared so much. My flash here came accidantally.
