I took this photo during my Band Mom days in Plano, Texas. High School Band goes hand-in-hand with High School football!Time
As the sun was going down, I looked up at the kids heading back into the stands after half-time and loved the silhouettes I was seeing!Lighting
Dusk was always the prefect time to capture band pics. The instruments and band uniforms were begging to be featured in a silhouette!Equipment
I was always looking for great shots of the kids. I'm an amateur who gets lucky once in a while, and my Samsung S4 caught this one with an auto setting.Inspiration
My love for the kids and their families was always my inspiration. I knew most parents could never get the kinds of photos that I had the opportunity to take. A mother of a percussionist in this shot had it blown up and framed for him for his birthday, and it's on his bedroom wall. Their gratitude brings me great joy!Editing
I didn't do any adjustments or editing to this photo.In my camera bag
I now carry a Nikon d5600 that I'm learning to use. I also bring my Nikon Coolpix p530 for backup while I'm learning. Also, my Samsung S10+ has a great camera for us amateurs!Feedback
Being ready to take a picture when you see "a shot" by having your camera or phone easily accessible is key. Recognize and watch for the beauty around us and be ready to capture it in a photo so you can share it with everyone!
