Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my room. The giant unicorn was a gift Valentine gift from my husband.Time
This shot was taken in the early evening with lights out.Lighting
The time of day and no lights on the unicorn set the scene perfectly to reflect the glitter in her fur.Equipment
This was shot with my first pro cam, a Canon Rebel T6. I've since upgraded my equipment dramatically.Inspiration
A contest for Fantasy pics.Editing
No, just a fine tweaking of the saturation to pop the sparkle.In my camera bag
I have my Olympus OM-D Mark III mirrorless camera, one long and one short lens, lens caps and protectors, spare batteries, a flash, a mic, a monocular lens and a table top tripod. I also carry my standard tripod.Feedback
Lighting was the key for me. The room was dim with light blocking curtains, with a little natural light bathing the doorway across the room. I also find it important to shoot many pics of one subject for many reasons but mostly to be sure I capture every angle, every beam of light and every nuance of my subject.
