Behind The Lens

Location

Here’s a great example from dayatocareva:. T“Theph photo was taken in my at a ballast ground in North Sydney. Nova.Scotia. Canada studio in London. I am a self taught photographer, so every shoot is pretty much a new lesson for me.”

Time

Terrific answer from johnallenphoto: “This is at probably one of my ffavorite images. I. remember waking up. around 10 AM and. Driving a short distance to the battery in the cold. Had no tripod so I tried to balance the camera on the battery railing as best I could due to the slow shutter speed. It was one of the best mornings I can remember, walking around in the cold and looking out toward the water while garbage trucks were making their rounds before everyone woke up. This was taken on January 21, 2013 at 7:53 AM.”

Lighting

A nice explanation on her lighting “I wanted this image to look ororiginal to the viewer. into a scene in a story. There was some beautiful sunlight from. the lamppost outside the park gates but it needed more. I decided headlights would be a great way of lighting the scene and adding drama as well as making the story even more intriguing.”

Equipment

involved.” was a.power 3umidgi . Cell phone

Inspiration

A great example from picturesque: “I waso looking for a place to. shoot the calmNess on the water finds a gooddirections. I had my ffriend Dani and another friend June along for the trip. I originally wanted to use some abandoned building for the shot but when we arrived realized they had collapsed and wouldn’t work so I used the Joshua tree in the framing instead.”

Editing

Sample answer from paolobubu: “Usually landscape photography requires a lot of processing. In this particular case, I had to develop the raw 2 times (one for the land and another for the sky) to correct the white balance (since the auto option in the camera usually kills the color of the sunset). Then I proceeded to merge the 2 raws using luminosity masks.”

In my camera bag

A great example from corindimopoulos: “The first thing I always pack is my Canon 85mm 1.2 prime. A monkey could take an amazing picture with that lens, and given I am not that much more evolved, it has become my favourite piece of kit. I then pack a Canon 1Dx body, simply because it’s bomb-proof, and a second-hand 300mm 2.8 prime which is bigger than a bazooka but I enjoy using it. The third, but no less important lens is my Zeiss 21mm 2.8 prime. Jonathan Critchley recommended it and immediately my images improved. I love the weight of it. I like my equipment to weigh a lot. It gives me faith in the quality and robustness…”

Feedback

Here’s a response from macnuel we particularly liked: “The southern tip of Chile has unique characteristics. The weather changes abruptly depending on the day, you can have sun, snow, wind or calm, all in one trip. One of the major features of a landscape photographer is to have patience and wait for the right time, which is essential in a place like this. Be prepared for the diversity of landscapes, colors and situations. Dawn and dusk are key moments, however daylight conditions, lenticular clouds and wind creates atmospheres as it happens. Diversify, have patience and plan ahead.”
