Location
The Photograph was captured during the annual visit to the CSIRO Telescope (The Dish) yeas like in the movie for Miss Priscilla and Elvis.Time
Mid morning around 10am AEST this allows it to be a little cooler as The Parkes Elvis Festival is held in the Australian Summer TimeLighting
Lighting was natural, reflections from the building and whats called a whisper dish (an attraction) painted bright white, was plenty to accommodateEquipment
Nikon D500 and yes a tripod to keep the hands and frame steady.Inspiration
The natural presence of Miss Priscilla, she is so photogenic.Editing
A general HDR and edge crop to crisp the imageIn my camera bag
I dont have a bag lol. I have a boot full of gear, from tripods to lighting, camera's include Nikon's, Canon and Sony. Of course like most I have various lenses to ensure the scene is maximised with the right glass for the right camera. My favorite in my boot of goodies is my Nikon D500 with 70-300 lens, followed closely by my Parrot ANAFI UAV (Drone). Any excuse to get into the air for that extra prospective.Feedback
Best advice I can pass on is 1/. NEVER RUSH your shot. 2/. Look for the best light with the right angle 3/. Do NOT be afraid to speak with the talent and get the best shot that compliments them and your work as one. 4/. As an older photographer than me once said, there is never a bad time to snap a shot, so use your heart and your emotions to tell a story others can enjoy with you.
