Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on our front steps at our house in Big Sky Montana

Time

This was taken early in the morning when the family gets up and the kids are energetic and Mom's just not quite awake yet

Lighting

Because it was in the shade the lighting was perfect

Equipment

Nikon 5600 handheld 70-300 zoom

Inspiration

I just love watching these little critters play they're so full of life energetic and have great expressions they're just like kids.

Editing

Post-processing was a little more clarity and texture using Lightroom.

In my camera bag

Oh my camera bag has all the essentials multiple lenses, batteries, cleaning supplies. The second camera bag has the extra camera and binoculars.

Feedback

If it strikes something in your heart take that picture it may not always come out perfect but that's okay that's how we learn.
