Behind The Lens

Location

I was sitting by the pond at my home in Kerry, just looking at the dogs playing camera in hand, frodo was going mental jumping around but stopped for a second and looked at me, so I snapped as fast as I could and off he went again. :)

Time

Think mid-day, 1 o clock maybe, beautiful summer's day.

Lighting

totally natural lighting, very little post here, I just liked the light. Think I did a small s curve, that's all.

Equipment

I'm pretty new to this, just bought a sony a6 on adverts.ie (like ebay or Craigs) a week before. spent a week learning the basics and then started shooting like mad :) no tripod for this one had a standard sony 16-50 oss wide angle lens and midsummers day, lighting.

Inspiration

If you've ever had the pleasure or madness residing with a Dalmatian, it's a rare occasion when they are still :) they were bred for running next to couches way back in the day, absolute madness, the house is in bits. So when he stopped going mad and stared at me I had to capture this rare moment :)

Editing

very little on this, just a slight s curve in photoshop.

In my camera bag

just the basics, my sony a6 A6000 body 16-50 oss wide angle 1.8-50 oss portrait lens 55-210 oss zoom lens nd filter for the 16mm, small tripod .

Feedback

Just keep shooting, morning, evening but also the day, there is beauty everywhere, with animals, the moment is more important than the time of day. I think the more you shoot the better, but do it with an eye, there is so much beauty here, everything we look at is a potential photo if we look at it well.
