Behind The Lens

Location

Skatepark 'Tempelhof' in Bruges - Belgium.

Time

In the middle of the day with harsh light conditions.

Lighting

Natural light as I never make use of a flash.

Equipment

Most of time I travel light - one of my Fuji mirrorless bodies and a wide lens was used from a short distance.

Inspiration

I can't resist getting really close to the action, I want to capture their passion and talents.

Editing

I did convert the capture to B&W with Lightroom. Some straightening and a square crop seemed best suitable here.

In my camera bag

I try to travel light and adjust to the area and subject I 'm most lightly to photograph. As I have a collection of lenses, I confess it can be hard to choose the right lens. For this type of photography it is indeed a good idea to bring along a body, in this case a mirrorless Fuji, preferred with a flip screen for the special angles.

Feedback

I find it is most of all important to show respect and have contact with these guys. One does not want to be an out stander... a nerd wanting to try this... I guess having skated myself helped to start a conversation. Personally I have experienced that a wide lens gives the most interesting results.
