Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Downtown Colorado Springs.Time
It was early afternoon.Lighting
It was harsh afternoon natural light. I had to close up my aperture as small as I could get it and I still got such rich light and color.Equipment
Just my Nikon D3000.Inspiration
The subjects are my brother and nephew. My family had all gotten together for lunch the week before I moved across the country. We were walking back to the car and I realized that my nephew had dressed just like my brother and was trying to match his stride. I had to scramble to get my lens cap off in time, but I managed to get this shot of the two of them sharing a moment as simple as walking to the car together before I moved away. Totally worth getting my lens cap scratched because I dropped it in the process.Editing
I had to adjust the white balance a little because the strong sunlight on white shirts.In my camera bag
I'm not very far along in my camera bag accumulation, so I only have my Nikon D3000, a UV filter, the original kit lens (which is cracked, but it creates really cool lens flares), a 50mm lens, and my 16-85mm zoom. I occasionally carry a flash, ring flash, or diffuser but I usually prefer natural light.Feedback
Make your camera an extension of your arm. I got this shot after a family lunch, which is usually not considered an exciting photographic event! I love using my family as practice for candid shots. Just always be prepared to rip your camera out and (attempt to ) get a shot.
