Behind The Lens
Location
In my home office.Time
Shortly before noon, the only reason I remember that is because I was trying to get enough light for the photo and had I only waited a few more hours I would have had plenty of light from my western facing window!Lighting
The lighting is a combination of flash, overhead light and a lamp.Equipment
Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XSi, an inexpensive flash I got at a garage sale and my favorite lenses, the Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM.Inspiration
Actually it was the cute little witch's hat I got at the dollar store (I think it was intended as a hair clip). I decided it would be perfect for Riley, if I could keep it on him long enough to get the shot.Editing
This is actually a composite of two shots one he had his tongue out and the other was just a bit sharper overall so I used them both, did a bit of color correction and lighten it up, that was about it.In my camera bag
My bag isn't very big so I'm constantly changing things out. I almost always carry my 50mm lenses with me, it really is my go to lens for so many things.Feedback
Have lots of treats on hand! Riley was about 4-5 months old when I took this and full of energy and curiosity so getting him to sit still is a lot of work. For me it took some peanut butter lightly coated on the edge of the cauldron and lots of hot dogs as well as a squeaky toy to get his attention. Beyond that just be creative with what you have on hand. Aside from the hat clip the rest were Halloween/Fall decorations I already had.
