Behind The Lens

Location

The photograph was taken at a local community bowling alley operated by our local town. The bowling ball was in a ball return rack.

Time

The photograph was taken in the evening during a year end party for a minor hockey team.

Lighting

The lighting in the bowling lanes had mirror balls hanging from the ceiling. There were led lights bouncing off the balls and UV black lights for most of the ambient lighting

Equipment

I used a D3400 camera with a Nikkor AF-S 50mm f:/1.8 lens hand held.

Inspiration

The lighting in the room made things really interesting. But with the multi-coloured lights reflecting off the mirror balls, just added that extra bit to say to myself, I have to find something to photograph that records this lighting & tell the story of the bowling lane.

Editing

There wasn't much processing done. just tweaked shadows and saturation. But not much.

In my camera bag

I carry my D3400, yhe 50mm f:/1.8, the Nikkor 18-55 kit lens, a Nikkor AF-P DX 70-300mm f:/4.5-6.3G lens, two speedlites, batteries, 12 inch mini reflector and an led panel.

Feedback

I came across something different in regards to my surroundings. If you see something unusual, don't miss the opportunity. Perhaps no one else thought about recording an image of that subject, or similar subject before. Take the photo.
