Behind The Lens

Location

Captured in the grounds of the University of East Anglia, on a wonderful Spring day.

Time

It was around midday, the sun was filtering through the trees and I thought I'd take my opportunity to get that filtered vibe.

Lighting

No flash needed as the apeture of the lens allowed me to have enough natural light flooding in. I wanted to try and get a small light leak through the trees, but wasn't the right conditions.

Equipment

Canon 6D, 100mm f/2.8 L IS USM. No tripod, all hand held. Just relied on the lens and for me to not shake.

Inspiration

The setting was perfect and i wanted to capture my model friend in her beautiful clothes within a woodland setting.

Editing

Some simple Lightroom edits was all that's needed, boosting constrast, a little extra brightness and some healing to remove little unwanted dust and bits.

In my camera bag

Canon 6D with a 100mm 2.8 L IS USM. A 17-40mm for landscapes with Some ND Grads for the sky

Feedback

Just be confident with your lens and your model.
