Behind The Lens

Location

So this was very impromptu. I was at the grocery store and saw this little van in the toy section and I just couldn't resist it. I arrived home as the sun was setting, blazing through my sitting room window. I noticed the little cactus on the table and knew this would make for a pretty cool snap. I placed the car, played with position and there you have it.

Time

This was late afternoon as the sun was setting

Lighting

Golden hour!

Equipment

Nikon D850 and my Nikkor 70-200m f/2.8 that creates some pretty nice bokeh

Inspiration

The sunlight coming through the lounge windows looked amazing and I just had to create a photo somehow.

Editing

Just a bit of contrast and saturation

In my camera bag

Nikon D850, Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8, Tamron SP 15-30mm f/2.8, NiSi Filter set, Polarizers, Cloth, cleaning kit, extra batteries and cards, sometimes a hard rive and my laptop if I'm gonna do timelapses or video. Surui L-Bracket, Surui Tripod

Feedback

Sometimes you have to make your photo work. I staged this one with some cool props and amazing back-light cutesy of the sun and it actually turned into something quite cool, and seems to get a lot more attention than I ever thought it would. There is always a photo but sometimes you have to find it and work for it.
