Behind The Lens

Location

This was my first FULL day of retirement. The photo is to be accompanied with the "Last day of work" photo included in my portfolio. This photo was taken in the morning of December 15th on my front porch in Pittsburgh, PA. Although a bit chilly, as you can see in the reflections of the side lites, no frost or snow on the grass.

Time

This photo was taken around 10 a.m.

Lighting

the sun was behind me

Equipment

I adjusted the camera settings and my wife took the shot. Using a Nikon 5100 with a Nikon AF-S DX VR Zoom 18-55mm lens set to auto focus, I was in the manual setting with an ISO of 125, focus at 32 mm, f/5.6 and shutter speed 1/125

Inspiration

32 years of owning my own business. I took my business seriously!; I intend to take my retirement seriously as well. So far so good!

Editing

No post processing

In my camera bag

Feedback

Don't always try to get the predictable shot.
