Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken about 10 years ago outside a train station right after I took my two boys for their first train ride.Time
The photo was taken at almost 6pm after we arrived at the station.Lighting
At the time I was just a happy mum taking a shot. I did only take up photography in a serious manner in 2015. So, I guess I was lucky with the time of day and the lighting.Equipment
Camera: E2000 Aperture: f/2.8 ISO: 50 Exposure: 1/170 Focal Length: 580/100Inspiration
What inspired me to take this photo was the happiness on my two sons' faces after having experienced and shared as brothers something as trivial as a train ride. I was certain then that they would grow up taking pleasure in simple things and that's a moment you definitely want to capture.Editing
PP consisted in cropping a bit on all sides and basically adjusting highlights, shadows, contrast and a bit of sharpening.In my camera bag
Now I usually carry my Olympus and my Canon EOS 70D which I bought last year.Feedback
Any advice? Just keep it simple and true. If you feel it, if it has impact on you it will most certainly have impact on someone else. If you can make someone feel something with your photo then it's a good day.
