Location
It was amazing to come upon this scene last May walking around Boston with my wife when my she and I were staying in her friend's Beacon Hill apartment, taking care of the friend's seventeen-year-old cat.Time
It was Sunday morning approaching lunch--or brunch--time. Next to the pig on the sidewalk, propped against the building, was a blackboard with a promotion written in chalk for "Hangover Brunch!"Lighting
The lighting was set up for me with the pet owner and his pig in the daylight and the nicely contrasting darker interior of the restaurant behind them.Equipment
I used my iPhone 5, which I'd had then for just over a year and which I've used for all of the pictures I've posted on ViewBug.Inspiration
It was an amazing moment to capture. I took two shots. In the first one, the pig was shifting its position. I was slightly behind the man and facing the pig. For the second shot (the one I posted on ViewBug) I was lined up to catch them each in profile, facing opposite directions, with the man picking up a fry to eat it.Editing
The only post-processing I did was cropping the picture to focus on the man and the pig. I've since posted a closer to full-frame version on ViewBug that shows the blackboard with the brunch promotion.In my camera bag
The beauty of just using my iPhone 5 is there's no bag to carry and I'm always ready to shoot in available light or with flash.Feedback
For candids like this, as soon as I spot the potential image, the keys to getting a good shot are holding my iPhone steady and clicking off a few shots to capture the right moment. I shoot vertical images one-handed, with my my elbow relaxed and steadied against my body.
