Behind The Lens

Location

San Francisco, CA, Westfield Center. Before Christmas 2017.

Time

Mid-afternoon.

Lighting

Natural conditions. There is a lot of diffuse sunlight from the dome above. Perfect conditions.

Equipment

IPhone SE. HDR off.

Inspiration

A 50 foot tall upside down Christmas tree? What’s not to like.

Editing

#nofilter I strongly prefer naturalistic light settings. I fell passionately about playing the “lighting hand” I’m dealt.

In my camera bag

Again, this is an iPhone shot. When I’m carrying, I use a Canon 5d2 with a variety of L series lenses. I favor zooms over primes because of versatility and many are close to the sharpness of prime L series lenses.

Feedback

It’s all the framing for this shot. I wrestle with framing more than exposure and f-stop. I took >10 shots to get this one. It’s handheld FYI.
