This photo was taken at my father in laws house. It's one of my first photos and one of my favorite.Time
This photo was taken around 7:00am in early Fall. We had to be on the road that day but my son wanted to hold his favorite chicken Lucy one more time.Lighting
I shot this in natural light. I think the black and white helps to keep the focus on Jaxon and Lucy.Equipment
This was shot with a Nikon Coolpix. It was my first camera and being a point and shoot and my inexperience I was surprised how well it turned out.Inspiration
I've always loved candid photos my wife takes so when Jaxon said he was going out to see the chickens I thought it would be a good time to get candid shots.Editing
I took this photo in color and when I compared it to black and white on the computer I decided I like the black and white better.In my camera bag
Since taking this picture I have upgraded to a Nikon D3200. I carry a Bower fisheye lens and the stock 18 / 55mm nikon lens. I also carry a tripod.Feedback
I always keep my camera on me and when trying to get candid shots I shoot a fast and as steady as I can.
