Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken at my home. Fred is the subject.

Time

It was the middle of the day after lunch. I use my second bathroom as a blind to take phots of birds. Fred came in to see what I was doing. I thought that's a nice picture.

Lighting

This is done with just light from the window.

Equipment

Shot taken with Nikon D500 and a kit lens 70-300mm F 5.6 SS 1/250 sec. ISO 800 exp -0.3 200mm

Inspiration

I was taking pictures of the birds out the window. When Fred came in hopped on the bathroom vanity.

Editing

Little post processing. Had to change to black and white from color.

In my camera bag

It depends what I am going to shoot as to what set up I carry. I have a Nikon D500 set up with a Tamron 150-600mm G2 for my wildlife shots I have a Nikon D750 with a Nikon 105mm 2.8 for macro And just recently acquired a Nikon Z6 with a Tamron 70-200mm 2.8 G2 for my Theatre shoots.

Feedback

Practice makes perfect. I started in film in 1979 all manual Pentax SE K1000. Try and get it right in the camera so you don't have much processing afterwards.
