Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the little church in Bodega California late summer evening. I have always been fascinated with this location ever since I saw it in Alfred Hitchcocks "the birds" . I am self taught so I definitely took a lot of images before getting the right one.

Time

After working all day and planning in my mind when I needed to leave for this place, I finally arrived on location around 2 in the morning. It was a very warm summer night along the coast.

Lighting

All the lights were on inside this old church so that helped bring it to life, the surrounding businesses and homes outdoors lighting helped illuminate this image

Equipment

Canon 5dmk iv Sigma 24mm Hoya red intesifier filter Slik 509hd tripod

Inspiration

Alfred Hitchcock inspired me to take this photo, I have always been a fan of his movies so I could not pass the chance at shooting on this location

Editing

I mostly use LR to do any post work on my images, this image I played around with highlights and shadows to bring this one alive.

In my camera bag

I keep my bag light so I mostly carry my camera Canon 5dmk iv One lens depends on what I'll be capturing at that time Tripod And filters...
