Behind The Lens

Location

Tel Aviv, Israel

Time

Around 6 pm

Lighting

Street lighting and lighting from surrounding businesses

Equipment

Tripod, Canon Camera, Standard lens - no flash :)

Inspiration

My friend called me at work one day to say that she was eloping and headed to the airport, but wanted one quick "engagement" photo before they got on the plane. I had about 30 minutes to run home, get my equipment and meet them. I only got in a few shots (including this one) before they took off. Nine months later their gorgeous son was born, and a beautiful documentary about her turbulent pregnancy, called "Week 23", is currently in theaters.

Editing

Enhanced the saturation a bit, sharpened a bit, but not much!

In my camera bag

About 5 different lenses (only 1 that I really use these days - the wide angle), tripod, and hotshoe flash.

Feedback

Go to an area of the city that is well lit, with lots of traffic. The shutter doesn't need to be open that long, less than a second, but long enough to get the effect of movement. No flash needed, but a tripod will definitely be required.
