Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in the sunroom where I was living at the time. The way the natural light was flowing in just lit her little face right up.

Time

This was taken in the morning before lunch time. The sun only hit the sunroom windows during the morning.

Lighting

All natural lighting. No flash, no room light, not a thing.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D3100 and hand held it.

Inspiration

My little girl is so photogenic and we were just watching tv hanging out. I spied the light on her and grabbed the camera. She loves to make facial expressions so we went through them all... smiling, sad, no expression, and surprise. I love this kid!

Editing

I use Adobe Lightroom to flatten all of my images and tweak them up a bit.

In my camera bag

I always carry my D3100 with stock lens, a 70-300mm lens, flash, extra charged battery, cable release, and of course cleaning items.

Feedback

Always be aware of the light given to you. Use it! It's natural and to me just makes the subject look more "real". I don't do much studio work... mostly shoot outdoors. But sometimes the light creeps in your house and makes it work! Proof positive with this photo!
