Behind The Lens
Location
Walnut creek Metro Park in Groveport OhioTime
I took this photo around mid morning. We had just gotten a light dusting of snow with more projected to come, and i wanted to get a jump on finding a location to shoot.Lighting
It was overcast day with low hanging clouds.Equipment
I used the sony A6300 with a 50mm minolta 1.7 legacy lensInspiration
The snow had just began to fall and living in Ohio, it's very hard to find interesting places to shoot...not impossible, just harder to find. I knew of the tall pine section in this metro park and wanted to explore the area....especially with the contrast of the snow!Editing
I was just beginning to discover the editing process at this stage. I used light room to bring out the mood of the day and did a little bit of sharpening due to the softness of the lens I used.In my camera bag
I have 2 sony cameras, but only had the one at the time. I used to shoot film so I had only legacy lenses with me.Feedback
This was a moment that taught me to always expect the unexpected. I was right in the middle of switching lenses when this buck appeared out of nowhere. I didn't want to spook it by opening my bag to get the long lens out, so I slapped the lens I was in the middle of taking off (50mm) back on and snapped away.
