Behind The Lens
Location
Near my house, some horses often graze in a meadow. Sometimes, I trie to take photographs of these horses. It's quite difficult to do something original.Time
It was the end of the day, a beautiful day with a lot of sun. The horse walked between light and shadow.Lighting
I have in my head to do a black and white photograph, playing with the contrast of light.Equipment
My camera is a Nikon D300S. I was far away the horses, so I used my Nikkor zoom 70-200 mm VR II with a lens converter.Inspiration
I saw some photographs I liked with a black background, and I thought that this horse's head was interesting to shoot like this. So, I taked it deliberately darker.Editing
I make darker the background to stand out the horse. I used some sharpness and contrast for a best light.In my camera bag
My Nikon D300S, two zoom lenses : Nikkor DX 16-85 mm, Nikkor 70-200mm VR II, a teleconverter Nikon. A Benro tripod with a Manfrotto head. A nisi filters holder V6 with a polarizer filter and some long exposure filters.Feedback
With animals, we must be patient, we have to move slowly, without make noise. We do accept to past time and to think that sometimes it could be impossible to take a good picture. And try again an other day : We can take a lot of picture not really interesting. One day one picture will be good ! It takes a lot of humility ! A good lesson.
