Behind The Lens

Location

Somewhere in the middle of nowhere near the village "Waterlandkerkje" near the border of Holland and Belgium.

Time

In the afternoon

Lighting

I just had to exept the lighting of that moment ;-)

Equipment

Fuji X-Pro 2 with the compact 23 mm lens

Inspiration

I was cycling to keep fit and to discover the area. When I cycled by I saw these sheep and thought to myself, that might proove to be a potential nice shot with those trees and no other things in the background.

Editing

I cropped the image to a 16/9 size and had a look what could be done to corect the lighting, the colors and the dynamics in LR. Not that much was done, but it was wort it to experiment with slight adjustments.

In my camera bag

As I combine my cycling hobby with photography, I try to have as little with me as possible. Mostly it wil be just one body, either the X-pro or most of the time I 'll choose to bring along my XT-2 body and one of my lenses.

Feedback

Always have your eyes open and get your settings ready for the existing light and conditions.
