Location
New Orleans, LouisianaTime
We were walking around in the morning while still misty outside.Lighting
It was mystic with the morning dew and cloudy overcast.Equipment
Canon 40D and Tamron 17-50mm f2.8Inspiration
I was already out taking pictures of the area and was look at the bridge. In the foreground I saw the couple and they just looked to be peacefully enjoying each other.Editing
On this one I really wanted to draw out the bridge and people so I worked with the backlight and really drew out the silhouettes of both.In my camera bag
I have a Canon 40D, Sigma 30mm 1.4 and Tamron 17-50mm. I carry about 5 batteries as I am paranoid my camera will be dead when I see something I'd love to capture. On occasion I tote around a tripod as well or will throw in a flash to use off camera.Feedback
A lot of my shots are all about the opportunity I took to walk around and enjoy the world with my camera. When I see something I stop and take time to let it all in. No real methodology beyond that, just a guy and his camera usually accompanied by friends or family. Also dont be shy to ask someone if you can take their photo, more times than not people love to do it and the photos come out even better then. It's like a great bicycle ride, it's not always about the destination but also the trip along the way. Enjoy and thanks for looking at my photos, I am completely humbled and honored.
