Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a street corner in Paris. I was watching the lady in black trying to to take photo on her phone when I noticed another lady also in black approaching. What made me take the photo was the lack of color in the scene. The majority of color in the photo is black, white and gray.

Time

I was walking around town on my way to dinner. Each each day I try to pick a theme or subject to shoot. This day was "Corner Shots". I stop at various corners during my walks and look for interesting things or ity=uations to photograph.

Lighting

Just an overcast day that muted all available light.

Equipment

I shot this photo with my NIKON D850 Settings: Aperture f/4?ISO 200?Shutter 1/125?Focal Length 1200/10?

Inspiration

This was my "Corner Shoot" day. I noticed the two women dressed almost identical in black with difference being in hair color. When the lady started to take the photo. the thick overcast day gave the scene a gray tone affect which made the black and whites stand out.

Editing

I didn't do any editing on this photo. I liked the look of it.

In my camera bag

When I am just walking around town in my daypack I usually have my camera and extra lens.

Feedback

Find a location where you cannot predict the outcome of the environment and be ready to shoot.
