This is such a powerful image. The strong, protecting the weak. A silent image that speaks loud volumes!

Behind The Lens

Location

My son Raylan and I laying our room across the bed. I saw the light in his eyes.

Time

Noon.

Lighting

It was a cold winter day. Snow outside gave the room the perfect light.

Equipment

Nikon D7100 Nikkor 50mm

Inspiration

Just wanted to take our first father and son photo

Editing

Monochrome Black and White.

In my camera bag

Nikon D7100 Nikkor 50mm 1.8 Tamron 70 -200 Sigma 70-250 Nikon 18 -55

Feedback

I didn't think about how it would turn out. Just wanted my son in it. Moments like winter gives one a lot of time inside with family. Just stop and watch your family. Have camera ready because those days of keeping warm inside can be best time to also warm the soul.
