Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken at Tingley Beach in Albuquerque, New Mexico.Time
Our family along with some friends packed our kids (5 in all) into the cars bright and early so we could get a great fishing spot. The girls weren't so interested in the fishin .Lighting
I especially enjoyed taking pictures this morning. The sun had not yet fully risen and there was a bit of fog and misting. It was perfect.Equipment
This was shot on a Sony DSLR with a kit lens.Inspiration
I looked from the boys fishing and saw the girls wandering off. This was such a precious moment of friendship revealed that I want to hold on to the memory the best way I knew how.Editing
I usually do postprocessing but this was minimal. Just changed to B/W with very little exposure adjustment.In my camera bag
My bag is packed. Of course my Canon T4i, along with a kit lens, a canon ef-s 55-250 lens, canon ef-s 18-55 lens, flash, cleaning kit, extra memory cards and some other misc items.Feedback
My advice would be to live in each moment and to take the time to see the world around you. You don't have to be at a special event to capture a special moment. Life is not posed so capture it as it is.
