Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in my neighborhood and is an image of my husband and my two boys.

Time

This was taken just as the sun was setting.

Lighting

I had this vision for this photo but was waiting for some beautiful clouds in the sky. When I saw them we all hopped in the car to capture this as the sun was setting.

Equipment

This was shot with my Canon 5D mark iii. I used a Canon 24-70 mm 2.8. This was all natural light.

Inspiration

My husband was a pitcher for my youngest son's team and he also has a baseball room so I wanted to capture this moment to hang on his walls.

Editing

I did some exposure tweaks in LR and played with camera calibration to make the colors pop in the sky.

In my camera bag

I shoot with a Canon 5D markiii. My favorite outdoor lens is the Canon 70-200 mm 2.8. I love to shoot my silhouette with a 24-70 mm 2.8. For my indoor studio sessions, I have my Sigma Art 35 mm 1.4, and the 100 mm macro.

Feedback

My biggest silhouette tip is to get low as a shooter. I have my family on a hill here and I look for spots where we can get above the tree line and free of electric lines, etc.
