Behind The Lens
Location
This photograph was taken in the great city of Manchester in the UK. The area is called Urbis and is the epicentre of freeride skate action and punk rock style gatherings. Love just sitting there and getting the action shots..Time
This was taken early evening during the rush hour home. It's a great spot to sit in the sun as people start to rush home from work.Lighting
This is pure natural lighting. The area is filled with natural daylight creating good shadows.Equipment
Used a 105mm sigma Marco lens with a Nikon d800e body.Inspiration
I love action shot, especially mid air. Nothing better than capturing that moment in time when thing are moving fast. I like skate / extreme sports myself so it's natural to edge towards this type of photography.Editing
Lightroom is the weapon of choice for post-processing. I always try and use light editing to keep the photo as natural as possible. Innthsi case just a reduction in highlights and increasing the clarity.In my camera bag
Generally I walk around with my Nikon d800e with either the 50mm f1.8 or the 105mm f2.8. this allows me to always have my snapper at hand regardless of what I am doing. When I have the time I go out with the full kit which consists of the 14mm Samyang wide angle, 200mm f2.8 Nikkor and a 35mm.Feedback
Fast shutter, keen eye and patience.
