Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo about six years ago at McDonald's. Originally, this photo was of my daughter sitting on the slide at their Playland.

Time

I took this photo about one in the afternoon on a nice cloudless sunny day.

Lighting

Just a standard flash for fill.

Equipment

I was trying out my Samsung sl605 camera with 12.1 megapixels at the time. No lens or shutter speed recorded.

Inspiration

My daughter was my inspiration. Kids grow up too fast and I wanted to preserve her being a little girl.

Editing

I was trying my hand with different photography effects when I made this with a kaleidoscope effect and I blued out the face of my daughter. What you see is the finished result.

In my camera bag

I started taking photos from the early 70s. At that time, I had a Kodak instamatic.I moved up to a Minolta X700 and a 4x5 view camera. Later, I started to use a Samsung digital camera to save space and weight. Now I'm using a Fujifilm camera with 18 megapixels.

Feedback

Always keep your camera or I guess now, your phone at the ready. Great pictures come at a moments notice. Be prepared.
