Location
This is in the woods near my house. We love to go on little adventures.Time
This was one of the last warm days we will have had this fall. I decided to take the kids out at around 4:30, because the sun sets soon after.Lighting
We wandered around, trying to find pockets of light shining through the trees. I got lucky with this one, they had a place to sit, too. =)Equipment
This was shot using my Canon 5D MkIII, with a Canon 135mm f/2L lens.Inspiration
I had recently taken photos of a family surrounded by the gorgeous fall colors, so I thought it was time I did that for my own family.Editing
Oh yes. I'm a photoshop junkie. Haha! I can't remember the entire process, but I can give you a general idea. I warmed up the photo quite a bit. I introduced more magenta into the greens. I removed some stray hairs from my daughter's head, some distracting branches, etc. I also softened up the natural DOF a bit more, to make it a bit more dramatic.In my camera bag
Well, I'm a wedding photographer. The easier question would be what DON'T I have in my bag. Let's say I packed light the day I shot this. I had my 5D Mark III, 135L, Sigma 70-200 2.8, Canon 85 1.8, and I think my Sigma 24-70 2.8. The first three lenses I listed are my absolute favorites. I shoot about 85% of my portraits on the 70-200. It's crazy reliable.Feedback
I would suggest a full frame camera with a good longer focal length at 2.8 or better, that will give you that great compression and bokeh. Dreamy results every time! And always find that magical light!
