Behind The Lens

Location

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.
