Behind The Lens

Location

This image was capture at Shutterfest in 2018. in Saint Louis, MO at Union Sation.

Time

We had gone outside to work on some natural light portraits. Well as things happen it started to rain, so we stepped into a small overhang with curved glass on both sides. We had brought one strobe with us. Put the strobe to camera right and this is photo happened. I was glad for the rain that day.

Lighting

As we were really looking to work with natural light, before the rain came, I just wanted it to have that soft glow.

Equipment

Shoot with a Nikon D850, ISO100, f/4.5, Shutter speed 1/320, focal length 85mm Don't remember the strobe setting it was camera right.

Inspiration

I was stuck by the beauty of the moment, something totally unplanned and different from what we set out to do.

Editing

I normally do some postproduction. This one I did nothing expect to darken the background about 2points.

In my camera bag

I carry two Nikons, 3 lens, a speedlight, and alight meter. This changes on what I am photographing, but this setup is always there.

Feedback

Be ready to look for opportunities. You may get something you didn't plan on just by pay attention to what is around you.
