Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo several years ago, soon after my son had a bath. He used to love to jump on my bed right after bath time, and I loved how sweet and glowing his skin was.Time
This was a late afternoon.Lighting
For the longest time, I have chosen what house to live in based solely on what kind of light it receives at various times of day. The light in my bedroom in this particular house was glorious.Equipment
I shot this with a Nikon D3, and I'm pretty sure I used the 50 mm.Inspiration
My son has always been my most cherished and most consistent muse. From the moment of his birth I have been overwhelmed by his beauty and he is what led me to photography.Editing
I did very little processing on this. As I learned more, I wanted to do much less to my images. My goal has always been to capture reality exactly as it is. I probably tweaked the contrast a bit, but not much else.In my camera bag
I am both a Nikon and a Canon girl! I use a Nikon D3 and a Canon 5D Mark II. My favorite and most used lens is my 50 f/1.4.Feedback
Always follow the light. Look for the soft, gentle moments. Play around with focal plane and composition. Trust your gut.
