Behind The Lens
Location
Bath Spa University Newton CampusTime
This image was taken around midday in Autumn. It was after my first lecture of the day and it was freezing!! I had about an hours break and managed to forget my money that day so I couldn't buy a coffee. So instead, I went for a walk around my beautiful campus. I took my camera out of my bag and just started shooting images.Lighting
The lighting is 100% natural. I love taking images in natural lighting as I feel it is the best way to capture the real world!Equipment
Just my camera! The photo was highly opportunistic!Inspiration
I like the idea of highlighting the beauty in ordinary daily life! This is my university campus. The place I begrudgingly get up and out of bed almost daily to go to. I wanted to remind myself that although my campus is associated to having to sit in a room and listen to lectures (mostly interesting lectures but still sitting there and being talked at) there is still beauty in this place that is begging to be appreciated.Editing
Only slight exposure and colour correction as the sun reflection on the water was a bit overpowering.In my camera bag
My normal day camera - cannon Rebel T5 and the kit lens with an extra battery pack. Unless I am going on a specific shoot that is all I take in my bag every day, everywhere!Feedback
When you're going through your day, take note of all the small details of the world. Even if this is the small patterns the raindrops have left on the bus window! Once you train your brain to notice these little details and to realize the beauty in them, you will be able to capture the beauty in your ordinary everyday life.
