Behind The Lens

Location

I captured this image in the town park Watkins Glen New York.

Time

I believe it was midmorning.

Lighting

There was a canopy of tress that diffused the light, this also gave me the opportunity to get some nice bokeh.

Equipment

I used my Sony AR7 mirrorless body with an adapter to use a Kinoptik 75mm C mount lens.

Inspiration

The texture on the gate and the ornamental railheads caught my eye when passing by. The lighting was pleasant and the canopy of trees provided some very nice background bokeh.

Editing

I use several editing tools. I always import my RAW files to Lightroom and make a few adjustments. After that I am in Topaz Studio where I spend the most time post-processing. I end up with some finishing touches in Photoshop.

In my camera bag

I shoot with a Nikon D850 and a Nikon D700 that has been converted to IR (infared). I have a large selection of Nikon ED AF and AF-S lenses as well as adapters to use older Canon FD mount manual focus lenses. I also use a Sony A7R mirrorless. I only use vintage C mount lenses with my Sony. My favorite C mount brands are Kinoptik, Angeniuex, Cooke, Wollensak and Birns & Sawyer Hollywood lenses. These lenses were designed for 16mm cine cameras. I use these lenses for the amazing creamy bokeh they create.

Feedback

Life is full of so many distractions that we usually look passed the simple beauty that is right before us. The challenge is overcoming those distractions in order to see the beauty that is placed on our paths.
