Behind The Lens

Location

We took this image in a local park in town.

Time

This was in the evening. I'll probably say somewhere are 6pm. We really had to hustle to get all we could before it got dark.

Lighting

This was in the evening after work for me. We didn't have much time before the sun went down. So we had to shoot fast. I wanted to use as less power as I could with flash. Using the Nikon Creative Lighting System from the D750 by the pop-up flash triggering my SB-910 can be a tad harsh at times. I just wanted to give a touch of light from the flash. So I distanced from where she standing so the pop-up flash wouldn't have been harsh on her dress.

Equipment

I captured this image with my Nikon D750, Nikon 85mm f/1.4G, Nikon SB-910 speedlite with a Neewer softbox

Inspiration

It was my coworkers birthday and she just wanted something simple. My name was to show style, class and elegance. The pose was simple, but it matches her personality. She loves taking photo's.

Editing

I did very little in post. I may have played with the exposure some and increased the clarity.

In my camera bag

I love my Nikon D750 so it's the only camera I'll have in my bag. Accompanying the D750 in my bag will be my Nikon 50mm f/1.8, Nikon 85mm f/1.4, 24-7-mm f/2.8 and Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8 VR II.

Feedback

Find what inspires and gives you passion. I love people and am always practicing aiming to get better. If you love shooting like I do then do it often. Grab your friend's, family or co-workers and test your creativity and have fun.
