Location
This was taken in our farm field on the wettest year in history. Obviously, we were unable to plant a crops as we were unable to drive on the soil as it was pure muck. My nephews and the neighbor kids loved it when I took them to go 'swimming' in the mud! Somehow, the parents did not like the mud so much when the kids came home covered from head to toe... It only lasted about one month before the liquid turned more firm and the mud swimming stopped. But the kids will remember it forever :)Time
This was a late day photo, a few hours before sunset. The golden tones of the sun cast a bright, colorful tone to the photo.Lighting
All natural!Equipment
Just my unsteady hand and a Sony DCS-HX20V point and shoot camera!Inspiration
Seeing how much fun the boys were having in this once in a lifetime opportunity inspired me! I would have loved to jump it, but I had to drive us back to the house :( The kids still see the photos from the mud swimming and reminisce about the fun times and wishing they could do it again! It was a moment captured on the camera that will never be repeated.Editing
Nothing, it is an unaltered image.In my camera bag
Just my trusty mega zoom Sony camera! It goes everywhere with me as you never know when the right moment may come along :)Feedback
Bring a small point and shoot with you all of the time...easy to carry and takes great shots :)
