Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in a town called Santiago de la Ribera, it was the March Carnival!

Time

It was mid afternoon as far as I can remember and the light was quite harsh still.

Lighting

I wanted to catch the beautiful eyes that this young lady, but on the other hand it was difficult dealing with the red!! As we all know red is a difficult colour to capture and on this day with the stark light still in the afternoon, it wasn't an easy challenge. I think I managed it more of less though! Still learning!

Equipment

I was using my D5200 with a 55-300mm lens if I remember correctly.

Inspiration

When I saw the amazing costume and the contrast to her beautiful skin and those blue eyes, that was inspiration enough. When she looked towards the camera her face light up and she had the most wonderful smile that radiated kindness, something we don't see enough of these troubling days!

Editing

I did the basic post-processing, but nothing major to this image.

In my camera bag

Normally, I would take both my cameras: D750 and D5200 and three lenses ranging from 24mm-85mm to my larges lens which is a Nikkor 55-300mm. I always have spare fully charged batteries, you know what it's like when you don't, there is always some more to photograph! I also take cleaning equiment and cloths.

Feedback

Be patient, as in the situation like this there are many people about and sometimes this makes it hard. I was luck enough that the young lady noticed me and literally started beaming at the camera and was close enough that people weren't walking in front of me etc!
