Behind The Lens

Location

The photography was done in my office. Sometimes I transform this one into a small photography studio where I can practice my favorite hobby.

Time

About 11:00 h. using the sun that begins to enter through the office window.

Lighting

Simply take advantage of natural light through the window and a low energy lamp 30W 6500K

Equipment

Camera Olympus E-500, Lens Zuiko Digital 14-45mm 1:3,5-5,6 + Digital Optic Macro Lens +10 + Digital Optic Close Up Lens (+4,+2,+1), Tripod Vivitar V-2800, Monopod Ultralyt U-1003

Inspiration

The reading is usually my biggest inspiration, try to photograph any metaphors is a challenge to the imagination. In this case I was reading "Needful Things" by Stephen King. Sometimes I looking to capture images that motivate me into writing, another one of my hobbies

Editing

Yes. This time only a few adjustments in lightroom (brightness, blacks, clarity, focus)

In my camera bag

Olympus E-500 - Lens Zuiko Digital 14-45mm 1:3,5-5,6 - Lens Zuiko Digital 18-180mm 1:3,5-6,3 - Tripod or Monopod Ultralyt U-1003 - Digital Optic Macro Lens + Digital Optic Close Up Lens - Remote shutter - Extra batteries and memory cards.

Feedback

I'm just an apprentice and not think I can even advise on photography. All I can say is that since I bought light box I discovered that even in the simplest, in the smallest, there is always something beautiful and is a permanent challenge to find out. Not always have the time to go out, or the right climate (or desire own), but I finished my excuses to photograph and find new worlds within a simple box. * Sorry for my English. I hope that this is written correctly and that you understand me. Thanks so much.
