Behind The Lens

Location

Taking a walk in a park in Reykjavik on a frosty day, and there was ice-fog forming from a pond in the park. The sun was just breaking through the fog and created this nice background for a close-up of a freezing straw.

Time

around two in the afternoon. This is as high as the sun gets in the sky in winter.

Lighting

The light is all natural.

Equipment

Canon EOS 400D, 18-55mm lens.

Inspiration

I like the little things in nature, like when the first real frost of winter comes, and everything gets covered with ice-crystals.

Editing

I dropped the highlights a little.

In my camera bag

My camera, tripod, 18-55 lens and a 200mm zoom lens. Extra battery and extra memory card.

Feedback

When doing extreme close-ups, be mindful of the background, and try more than one position for the camera.
