Behind The Lens

Location

I took this straight after work ran out the back of my camp, i work in an iron ore mine in the Pilbara. Had my new 12mm 7 Artisians lens on Canon M50. We get some amazing sunsets at work and this was one of those great arvo's where it all worked out well !those little bushes that look like marshmallows are actually , Spinifex with needles on every end of the blades! Its like walking through a acupuncture farm ! I do love the sunstars the 12 mm manual lens gave off was a great lens and enjoyed it very much.

Time

This would of been around 17:30-18:00 as that is when i finish work , literally threw my work bag in my Donga and run across the bush to this spot !

Lighting

i did use a K&F variable nd filter with polariser built in to help shield the sun a bit.

Equipment

Canon M50 M1 12mm manual 7 Artisians K&F 2-32 ND & CP cheap crappy tripod

Inspiration

It was the beginning of my re found love of photography, Retiring from my baseball career stuck working 13 hour days in a mine site till i die. Needed a way to enjoy life and have a passion again

Editing

maybe a little lightroom, i was new into the post processing game back when i took this, so maybe just adjusted exposure a little.

In my camera bag

M50, my real tripod, 3lt Albert, Sigma 16 mm lens lume cube, nisi light pollution filter sirui variable Nd 2-32 sirui CP Nisi 1000 nd Rode wireless go set rode Videomicro Dji Mavic Mini Dji osmo 4 gimbal Neewer waterproof pro bag

Feedback

Be ready to go, every day i drive back form the mine site my camera gear always charged and ready to grab and run !
