Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at a friend's house of their companion 'Cooper'

Time

I honestly don't remember the time of day

Lighting

This was taken indoors using available lighting

Equipment

This was shot hand-held with a Canon 5D mkIII and 85mm F1.8 prime lens

Inspiration

I was just playing around with the camera and Cooper posed for me...!

Editing

very little was done in POST on this one, just a little tweak to contrast using LightRoom

In my camera bag

These days my 'walk about' setup is a Canon RP Mirrorless with a 24-240mm lens, but I'll also carry a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses if I'm looking to shoot something specific. I do have a couple of crop sensor bodies if I want a bit more reach, the extra magnification from the 1.6 crop factor helps there. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses or some sort of super-zoom so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.

Feedback

Pets are wonderful subjects to practice taking portrait shots of. Always go for the eyes for more impact
