Location
I took this photo in my driveway of my house.Time
I think it was in the afternoon, I really don't remember exactly the time.Lighting
The light was perfect, the clouds were fluffy.Equipment
I used my d7100Inspiration
My son who is 15 years old and already 6'2 inspired me to take this photo. He is a basketball player and is constantly outside shooting hoops and practicing. I wanted to create an image that I could blow up and hang in his room that represented who he is. In taking this photo I imagined him as the little boy he used to be and how daunting it must have looked to him standing under the hoop.Editing
I used lightroom and silver effects to convert the image to black and white.In my camera bag
I always have a speedlight, nd filters, wireless shutter releasess and my 18-50mm and 85mm lens.Feedback
I think when you start to think outside of the box then you can create images that can capture simple items in an unexpected way and make them more extraordinary.
