Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Lake Rotorua New Zealand.

Time

12:30 pm

Lighting

Sunny day

Equipment

Sony RX 10 M4

Inspiration

I just wanted to take more photos from a different perspective, from my normal head shot.

Editing

Sharpened in Photoscape X

In my camera bag

I have 2 cameras, plus my cell phone. Main camera is Sony RX10 M4 for the versatile lens range. 2nd camera is Nikon D500, with 3 lenses. 200 to 500mm F5.6, 70 to 300m, and 10 to 140 mm. I mainly use the Sony due to not having to change lenses for different situations. I use the Nikon when light conditions are poor, due to the larger sensor, and the cell phone, when I don't have a camera with me.

Feedback

Pretty hard to beat the Sony RX 10 camera for this type of close up.
