Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo near Breda, a town in the Netherlands. Dogs can swim, run and play freely there, and they love it!Time
It was taken in the afternoon.Lighting
As it was November, the sun was not very powerful, which enabled me to take a picture with nice and warm colours.Equipment
I used my Sony A6300 and my Sony 70-200mm F2.8 G Lens, a perfect combination! I did not use a tripod or flash.Inspiration
Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retrievers love fetching balls out of the water. I wanted to capture the determination in the dog's eyes when the ball is thrown and it can fetch it out of the water.Editing
I used a little post-processing, I enhanced the colours and straightened the horizon.In my camera bag
Besides my Sony A6300, I have a Sony A7S II. I own a 16-70mm wide angle lens, a 90mm F2.8 macro lens, a 50mm F1.8 lens and my pride and joy, the 70-200mm F.2.8 G Lens. I also use a tripod for long exposure shots and night photosFeedback
I would pick a clear, but not too hot day, bring a helper to throw the ball, something to lay down on (you take this picture lying on your belly) and of course a super enthousiastic model that loves balls and the water!
