My intentions for this location shoot was to visit one old man who, during the winter time, lives in a village far away from city, and capture some bits of his life.
As the air temperature was low enough, and I had to do most of the stuff outside, I had to consider wearing really warm clothes and gloves, to not get any health problems after.
As equipment I planned to use Nikon camera and a reflector for additional lighting.
I wanted to have reflector in this photoshoot, but it came out, that it wasn't possible to get one in exact time I wanted it, so I had to deal with natural light only.
In my photos I tried to capture daily life of this old man and the enviroment he lives in.
He was happy to see someone and kindly showed me his property.
Photos were shot using Nikon camera with 50mm, f1.8 lens, and later were cropped and color-corrected in Photoshop.
The settings for most of them were - iso 400, f2, exposure - 1/2000, 1/1000 and 1/200. I had to lower the shutter speed as it was getting darker, but I wanted to have same depth of field and I didn't wanted to increase ISO as it might cause greater noise. This caused some motion blur appearing on some photos, so I had to really concentrate on holding camera still, which wasn't easy because of negative air temperature.
Also some photos were not lucky enough because of the low air temperature, I used auto-focus and it didn't worked correctly in many cases.
I was invited for a cup of tea inside of man's house, and this sudden change of temperature caused camera lenses to sweat which made it impossible to use for a while, that is why I captured only one decent photo of the interior which you can see above.
