Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the spur of the moment. I was sitting there watching TV and having a drink. I looked at my drink as the light from my living room window was shining in and said, "I need to capture this!'

Time

It was late afternoon on a bright summer day. The blinds were partially closed due to the bright sun.

Lighting

I actually didn't use any flash. I took multiple shots at different speeds, and apertures and then picked the best one.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D850. I handheld the camera to get this shot.

Inspiration

When at the spur of the moment I saw this cool set up, I knew I had to get this shot. Although this was in my living room, I tried to create a bar like scene.

Editing

Yes, post processing was done on my PC to get the old school color effect. And since I shot this handheld, I also cropped it a bit and straightened it out a bit.

In my camera bag

I always have a Nikon D850 as my tool. I shot this picture with a 50mm prime, but most of the times I actually use a 105mm micro lens. I also use a 24-70mm, and a 70-200mm when I need it.

Feedback

Seems like the best pictures are the spur of the moment pictures. Have your camera ready for easy access. I know a lot of people put their cameras away and keep them safe in the camera bags, but what good is a camera that you don't use. Have your camera ready to shoot.
