Behind The Lens

Location

At Northwest Christian Preschool's Mud Day.

Time

Early morning. There were kids and parents everywhere!

Lighting

Early morning light is always easy to work with. I also wanted to capture the light reflecting off the muddy water pit.

Equipment

Canon Powershot SD790

Inspiration

I really wanted a picture of Jaxson that captured the shear joy and excitement of the day. It was challenging to get this shot with all the kids and parents running around. Plus, there was mud and shaving cream flying everywhere1

Editing

Nope, this photo is unaltered.

In my camera bag

Sony NEX6 body with multiple lenses. Polarized filters, lens brush, monopod, and of course extra batteries.

Feedback

Any time you are taking a picture with kids you have to be ready. Have an idea in your mind what emotion or story you want to capture.
