Behind The Lens
Location
Taken during a walk around Cardiff on a rainy day. As a street photographer, features on the road always stand out to me - this van in particular.Time
It was just after mid day.Lighting
Despite being an drizzly day, I still had enough light to stop down to capture some of the context in-focusEquipment
Sony A7 with a nifty 35mm f2.8 pancake lens handheld.Inspiration
Just how decorated and weathered the van appeared on the street.Editing
To focus on the contrast created by the vans various decorations, I chose to make the image black and white. Other than that, I only strived for enhanced naturalism.In my camera bag
Most of the time, I only carry a bag in-case it rains. Just me and my camera.Feedback
Go for a wide lens. Capture the street as you see it - shoot first, ask questions later! Look out for that decisive moment!
