Behind The Lens

Location

Image was taken at the Royal Navy Museum of Hartlepool, North East England

Time

Taken early morning, about 0800

Lighting

Taken in natural light on a clear, fine day

Equipment

I used a Nikon 1 J2 with a 10-30 lens, hand held but used railings as a steady.

Inspiration

Inspiration was the ship being black and white and the older small boats at the side to add interest, making a atmospheric image in black and white.

Editing

Little bit of processing, change from colour to black and white and a small amount of sharpening.

In my camera bag

Nikon D3x, Tokina 28-80 lens, Tanron 18 - 270 lens, Sigma 28 - 200 and Nikon 50mm. Nikon 1 J2 with 10 - 30 lens ,Fuji X10 plus spare batteries.

Feedback

I tend to shoot black and white when I can, because I think people look at the content, whereas colour photography tends to lead the eye to the bright colours. I always look at a scene and try to envisage it in black and white before shooting, doesn`t always work but I`m willing to try. Bracket every shot and try to vary the angle in both portrait and landscape shots.
