Behind The Lens

Location
Little Thurlow, Suffolk, UK
Time
Midday
Lighting
It was a beautiful day with lots of natural light, light cloud and the sun pretty much overhead.
Equipment
I used a Nikon D3100 with an 18-55mm lens.
Inspiration
My twin sons were visiting their Grandparents, and I had forgotten coats for them: as it was cool, we improvised with adults jumpers with the sleeves rolled up. The boys picked dandelions to blow the seeds, and I was there to take what was essentially a candid shot. I liked the colours of the jumpers, and the beautiful natural light of the day.
Editing
I tweaked the contrast a little, and made the colours a little more muted via Photoshop Elements.
In my camera bag
I have the Nikon D3100, and I almost always use just a 35mm prime lens. It forces me to work on composition more. I also carry a kit lens, a few macro filters, a tripod, and a remote shutter release.
Feedback
The only advice I would give: go for fewer posed shots, and more candid ones. Enjoy walks out, and take lots of pics. I try to take responsibility for what I see in the eyepiece, and how it is composed: that can be tricky when catching moments like this! Above all, it has to be fun!
