Behind The Lens
Location
Photo was taken during my son's (one in the middle) Marine bootcamp graduation in Parris Island, SC.Time
It was, I believe around 2pm...The new marines were getting back into formation after spending part of the afternoon with their parents, family and friends.Lighting
Bright sunny day...Hot SC day, summer time. Only light source was natural light.Equipment
Taken with a NIKON D3200 100mm/ƒ/4.5/1/250s/ISO 100...No tripod.Inspiration
Inspiration was everywhere!...Not just the pride of watching my son become a US Marine, but looking at the other young marines and the support from their friends and family was fantastic. Kids becoming disciplined men.Editing
Yes, I believe the shot provides more character when presented in black and white. It was the only post-processing I gave it.In my camera bag
My NIKON, a standard kit lens, Sigma DG 70-300mm Macro lens and a 50mm lens.Feedback
I myself have much to learn, I am currently studying photography and as for advice, read, study, practice by taking many shots...Understand light source and exposure. Dont be afraid of shooting unusual objects, trust your eye and develop your style...Finally, know your equipment...practice and practice
