Behind The Lens

Location

This self portrait was taken in my backyard.

Time

At dusk.

Lighting

Our home is surrounded by trees, which are then surrounded by farmland. We have such beautiful sunsets and the way the setting sun peaks through the trees is always so beautiful.

Equipment

I used my Mark IV on a tripod, with the Canon app on my iPhone to be sure I was in focus and in the frame.

Inspiration

The lighting. The moody feel in that corner of our yard reflects my emotions in this season of life currently.

Editing

I used black and white for this image but enhanced the highlighting to give my skin a bit of a glow, as well as enhanced the shadows to give it a more moody feel.

In my camera bag

Canon Mark IV, canon 50mm, Sigma Art series 30mm and a Canon 80D as a second body.

Feedback

Try to provoke emotion in your images and be open when describing the emotion you were going for.
