Behind The Lens

Location

I had just gotten my new camera and my oldest daughter offered to pose for me so that I could go out and play with it. It was an incredibly cold and frosty Winter morning making it a challenge to operate the new camera as my fingers were freezing. Her green coat was so fun to photograph against the frosty background. Still one of my favorite photos ever of my daughter. Definitely captured our morning together. A time I will always cherish!

Time

It was early one Sunday morning in February 2014, around 8:00 am

Lighting

The lighting was beautiful and soft as it was a cloudy/foggy morning.

Equipment

I had just purchased an Olympus OMD-1.

Inspiration

I was practicing to improve my portrait skills and wanted to update my photos of my oldest daughter!

Editing

Done with minimal processing. I added the vignette for effect to capture the mood!

In my camera bag

This was taken on my Olympus OMD-1. I loved the camera but have since changed to shooting a Canon for the full frame.

Feedback

Just enjoy every moment with your subject. Don’t take anything too seriously and you can capture the subjects true emotions.
