Natural light is always a challenge and a joy.Equipment
Canon T2i, 70-300mm lensInspiration
Every years until my father died, we had a family reunion at the beach. I would bring the camera down and shoot the children while they played with a telephoto lens so they wouldn't notice me and be natural. I happened to snap this shot of my niece just as the waves hit.Editing
Just some cropping and light color correctionIn my camera bag
Canon T2i, couple of lenses and filters, back up SD cards and batteries, rain cover, an Arsonal Device, microfiber cleaning cloths, and business cards.Feedback
I have noticed that peoples faces are more relaxed when they are unaware they are being photographed or if they are happy about the picture being so for many of my portraits I try to be discrete and let the action decide the image.
