Athena, this is the Challenge Favorite in the Picture is 1000 Words Photo Challenge. I am still waiting for ViewBug to tell me how to award the photo. The struggles, concerns, hopes, and dreams of this man . . .father, husband, son, friend, as shown in his face and your capture speaks to me. This photo expresses 1000 unspoken words and is exactly what I was looking for. Congratulations!

Behind The Lens

Location

This is a photo of our nephew who hates photos. So moment had to be completely candid, he had no idea this photo was taken until it was done. My sister's backyard during our family reunion in Fruita, CO.

Time

Late afternoon in May 2014.

Lighting

It was late in the day and over cast with heavy clouds. Sunlight was just peaking through while it was lowering to sunset. Sun was behind our nephew.

Equipment

Camera: Sony A580; Lens: Sony 75-300mm kit lens; Polarize filter

Inspiration

We wanted to capture as many candid photos of famiy as we could; everyone is growing up and having families of their own and life is short. Our mission is to capture everyone someday.

Editing

Basic editing, sharpen face, converted to black/white.

In my camera bag

Cameras: Sony A77 & A580; Lenses: Sigma 150-500mm & Sony 18-50mm kit lens; mixed filters & tripod

Feedback

We believe that some of the best people photos are candid photos. Although, we are Not people photographers and know nothing about it. We just take candid shots and hope we get lucky.
