Behind The Lens

Location

This subject was taken at a local Home & Garden business.

Time

As I recall, this was approximately at 2:00pm.

Lighting

Well in this Home & Garden Center, they have glass ceilings with florescent lighting. With direct sunshine coming through, it is a challenge to get the natural lighting and the artificial lighting joined just right for a decent image.

Equipment

This image was taken with a Pentax K-7 body and a Takumar F 70~200mm lens.

Inspiration

Although I wasn't in love with the background, I found the amazingly brilliant colors to be irresistible and just had to take the shot in order to share with friends everywhere.

Editing

Basically all I did was some cropping, resizing and a bit of cloning and healing in order to take care of obvious distractions.

In my camera bag

I have a Canon EOS 80D with both Canon EF-S 18~55mm, IS STM lens and a Canon EF-S 55~250mm, IS, STM Lens. Also, I have a Pentax K-7 with a multitude of dedicated lens and a few third party lenses.

Feedback

In a situation such as having a genuine challenge regarding lighting that is uncooperative, do not be shy or lacking in confidence. As Ansel Adams was said, "You don't take a photograph, you make a photograph." Hope this helps. Tony
