Behind The Lens

Location

In front of our house

Time

About midday, in the summer obviously

Lighting

Just natural sunlight

Equipment

Canon T2i, kit lens

Inspiration

My son and his best friend (until he moved away :( ) were playing on the sidewalk in front of our house with SuperSoaker water guns. They were so happy, I asked them to let me take their picture and got this shot.

Editing

No, I try to keep my post to a minimum. I did crop this a little for better framing but otherwise, it is untouched.

In my camera bag

T2i, kit lens, 70-300mm lens, macro lens, rain cover, extra SD card and batteries, and assorted filters.

Feedback

I rarely take posed portraits of children. Often I wait until they are distracted by an activity or game and then shoot them discretely with my long lens. This time, I encouraged them to be silly as they took the pose and that's when the water gun was fired.
