Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo in Nevada City, California during the 2019 Victorian Christmas event, which is a very large street fair at which many locals dress in Victorian garb.Time
Taken mid afternoon.Lighting
Natural light under overcast sky.Equipment
Sony RX10 IV with its integral Zeiss 24-600 mm lens, handheld.Inspiration
I love street photography and themed street fairs are a great opportunity because some people go out of their way to follow the theme. The almost ask to be photographed in those settings but I was trying to capture them as un-posed as possible. The best pictures happen when they have just realized that they are being photographed and react to it.Editing
Slight cleanup work on the face and burned the background in a bit to tone down the environment without losing the context altogether.In my camera bag
I travel as light as possible and for that the lightweight and versatile Sony RX10 IV is ideal. Often have my bigger Canon 5D III in the car as a backup.Feedback
Try a street fair, mingle and move around and don't give the camera a rest.
