Behind The Lens

Location

In my bedroom :$

Time

After the pubs had closed and before breakfast. Don't let me out with a camera when I've had a drink!!

Lighting

The only lighting was from a 40W soft-light ceiling uplighter and fairy lights behind the bedhead!!

Equipment

Nikon D200 with a Nikkor 35-70mm f:2.8 AF telephoto zoom lens.

Inspiration

My partner and I were just being playful. In fact it turned out to be a rather impressive modelling shoot as my expertise is with landscapes and not people. I'm usually too shy!

Editing

Yes, Photoshop was used to form the frame and the effect of the feet poking out of it. No other post-processing.

In my camera bag

My trips find me with a custom backpack containing my old but trusted Nikon D200 with my favourite lens attached which is a Nikkor 35-70mm f:2.8 AF. Extra lenses in the bag are an AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G, a Micro-Nikkor 105mm 1:2.8 macro, and a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG Macro telephoto zoom. Oh, and a tripod. The weight of this kit demands a tripod at low light!

Feedback

Aim for pictures that you would be happy to display and occasionally go for the fun element - as in head off for that elusive and unique shot. Whilst I still shoot film (I still own the cameras I used for my studies at college in the 1970s) digital photography is a boon as I brazenly go through 100s of frames occasionally finding a few keepers. Film is a good learning curve, teaching you how to get to grips with a camera and, of course, every shot has to count! Get your body right in, move away - don't just rely on focus. Use every angle you physically can, though I'm not quite ready to try that in the middle of a shopping street! Always take a tripod with you and if you’re on a hike take only as much equipment as you'll need. If I’m landscaping my 35mm prime is lens enough whilst the 35-70mm is a superb all-rounder. Take a look around you through the lens. You’ll soon see things that wider vision overlooks. I draw a lot of inspiration from other photographers too. Most of all have fun!!
