I used natural sunlight for this shotEquipment
Canon EOS 7D and a medium length Canon lens, hand heldInspiration
I am constantly on the lookout for photo opportunities with my Grandchildren and this was one of them. In this case, he was staring intently at something, and I caught him unawares.Editing
I processed this photo to enhance all of almost invisible freckles on this young boys face. His complexion is actually quite clear, but the particular black and white enhancement I used brought out many hidden features on his skin.In my camera bag
My Canon EOS 7D, and several various length lenses, a macro lens, a strap, a carbon fiber tripod with squeeze release head, misc lens cleaning materials, extra CF memory cards, spare batteries.Feedback
Although the pose is very nice, the best feature here is the effect of bringing out all of those unique and interesting features on his skin that would not have been noticeable in a normal color or B&W photo. I constantly experiment with Lightroom filters to get different and unusual results that enhance an otherwise normal photo.
