Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Eve's Garden in Marathon Texas one of the venues for the Big Bend Music Festival .

Time

July 27th 2018 At 6:09 PM

Lighting

Available light.

Equipment

This was shot hand held using a Sony a6500 with 18~135mm 3.5~5.6 lens. 1/400 sec @ f 7.1, ISO 500. 20mm

Inspiration

This was a new lens for me at the time, the music festival gave me a good opportunity to give it a good work out. This photo features Summer Dean, Anthony Ray Wright and Bonnie Montgomery. The sky made a great background for the performers.

Editing

This was converted to black and white in Lightroom with a slight crop.

In my camera bag

The Sony a6500 with the 18~135 is my go to combo for a light weight camera. I also use the Sony A7 II for full frame with 12~24 f4, 24~70 f4 and 70~200 f4 all Sony. My pocket camera is the Sony RX100 IV.

Feedback

If the venue allows it get in close and wide. Work the subject form as many angles as possible. I especially like this low angle with the church steeple in the center.
