Behind The Lens

Location

Photo taken in rural Kentucky at sunset. I am a self-taught photographer who who works with natural lighting, and I try to avoid any digital editing. I prefer to crop, frame, use available light, adjust ISO and shutter speed to get the shot I want in one or two clicks, not relying on editing software later. Its the artistic challenge of pulling all that together while capturing a moment, the I truly love.

Time

Late afternoon, just before dusk as sun was beginning to disappear behind nearby hills. "Golden hour"

Lighting

The children were having their first amazed experience with flying kites. They are looking up in pure kid delight. A very special afternoon, captured.

Equipment

This was 2009, with Nikon D70, 28mm.

Inspiration

Capturing family moments and childhood.

Editing

Photo was only cropped a bit.

In my camera bag

I'm a "keep it simple" artist. Only my camera body, a 18-70mm lense, a 300mm and extra battery pack (charged), charger and extra compact flash drive.

Feedback

Just a quick test shot so you can adjust as needed due to the position of the natural light and how it's hitting the object(s).
