Location
There is a popular fountain in the summer near waterfront part in Portland, Oregon. There were several kids playing that day, this was one of those street photos that just worked out well with timing.Time
This was taken in the late afternoon, creating a nice silhouette effect.Lighting
This is one of those lucky photos where the sun just happened to be in the right spot at the right time. I was patient and took many photos, this was the best of them.Equipment
Camera: Canon Rebel Xsi Aperture: f/16 ISO: 400 Exposure: 1/1600Inspiration
I was walking around and saw the kids playing in the water, the lighting was highlighting the water so beautifully, and the energy of the kids was engaging.Editing
Yes, I used photoshop to increase the contrast and darken the exposure, I like using levels in photoshop it can give dramatic results, especially for black and white photos.In my camera bag
I like the nifty fifty for street photos of portraits, it's a very sharp, light lens that isn't intimidating for carrying around in the street, and for wildlife and nature photography I have a 200 mm with a 1.4 extender. Also, a 16-35 mm for wide angle.Feedback
This wasn't a planned shot, I just go out and walk around and see what I see. My advice would be to keep your camera with you and follow your intuition, you never know what you'll come across, good luck!
