Location
This was taken at the hospital when and where my daughter was born.Time
This was the first time my wife got to see Sophia, as she had to stay in NICU for a few days. Early afternoon, probably two or three.Lighting
Just a sliver of light, mostly ambient bounce from the shutters.Equipment
This was with my 7 dollar canon dslr i found at a thrift store. I balanced the camera on the arm of the chair and just waited until she opened her eyes.Inspiration
My wife needed to see this moment, and remember it, so I waited and made it happen :)Editing
No edits, just a lucky shot.In my camera bag
Crappy DSLR, decent point and shoot, good phone camera, and a film camera, when I have one to bring.Feedback
Wait. It will come. No amount of rushing will get you a good shot. Take a thousand shot and you miss that many moments. So, wait. Get the _right_ shot.
