Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken outside my house. My neighbor was out with her dog Brandy and we chatted for a bit. Brandy sat quietly like she always does and having camera in hand, I figured it was a great opportunity to snap a couple of shots.Time
It was mid afternoon, the sun was still high but I had a tree in my front yard that gave us some shade. I honestly didn't think the picture would turn out because I didn't take the time to set up the shot, the settings, etc. I just clicked. I wasn't expecting anything.Lighting
Because Brandy was sitting in the shade, I didn't expect much.Equipment
I have a Sony A300 and used a telescopic lens as I had been out taking pictures prior to that at Mill Pond of the ducks and geese that settle there through the summer.Inspiration
I was inspired from my love of photography....still experimenting and my love of animals.Editing
The SOOC had a very uninteresting background....so I thought it would be nice to just blacken the background, making the dog stand out more.In my camera bag
I always have my Sony A300 and my zoom lens. I love taking nature pictures so that lens gets me closer to my subject....love it. I also carry a macro lens and the prime lens that came with the camera. Being still new in photography....I'm still experimenting with all the lenses.Feedback
Since this was an in the moment shot with no expectations....I really can't offer any advise. Just go with instinct I guess...and be patient with post processing.
