Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo on a street corner in the barrio of Cuidad Vieja in Montevideo, Uruguay. This little guy had taken a small break before heading up the rest of the steep sidewalk on his bicycle, and I took the opportunity to take his photo.Time
It was early afternoon, my boyfriend and I were just out walking around, exploring the city. We had just moved there a few weeks earlier.Lighting
I honestly wasn't really paying attention to the lighting.Equipment
I only used my IPad mini to capture this photo.Inspiration
I was inspired to take this photo by the little boy in it. I love children, and I imagined he was taking a little break to work up the strength/courage to get up that the rest of that steep sidewalk. I was also inspired by being in South America for the first time, and just trying to capture a little piece of the daily life there. My favourite type of photography to do is candid street photography, and nature photography.Editing
All I did was slightly sharpen this photo, change it from colour to black and white, and use a focus button in one of my photo editors on my iPad to focus on the little boy and slightly put his surroundings out of focus.In my camera bag
I normally carry my Canon Rebel T5 with both my 18-55mm lens and my 75-300mm lens. I also carry lens cleaning wipes. That's all I have. I didn't own my Canon Rebel at the time I took this photo. All I had was my iPad.Feedback
I would simply say to keep your eyes and your mind open, and your camera ready. I feel that a photographer often has to be able to see the photo in their minds eye before they take it, much the same way I would imagine a painter must see their painting before they paint it. It helps a lot if you learn to anticipate your subjects movements, and there is usually a little bit of luck involved.
