Behind The Lens

Location

Chicago

Time

Midday

Lighting

It was a nice sunny day

Equipment

Canon XT and 50 1.8

Inspiration

My friend and I were taking a short trip to Chicago and we stopped for a bit at the face fountain to watch the kids play. This guy stepped in front of us and started to do his daily stretches.

Editing

Contrast and slight color adjustment

In my camera bag

A canon and my 50mm 1.8

Feedback

If I had known what I know now, this picture could have been better. I would have used a wider aperture, (I used to literally never use anything but 1.8) and upped the shutter speed to capture the water more sharply.
