Behind The Lens

Location

When typhoon Bhopa arrived to the tiny island of Malapascua, (Philippines), luckily it wasn't as furious as the previous days when it hit other islands. It came here as a tropical storm and local kids had a blast playing under the rain.

Time

It was mid afternoon.

Lighting

I just wanted to capture this authentic natural moment of these kids as their best. I stood under a roof and waited for them to jump all at once.

Equipment

I used my Canon 550D with an 18-135 mm lens.

Inspiration

Great sample of pure happiness under the rain magnified by a group of local kids. No need for video games or expensive toys to have some real fun.

Editing

Little retouching of contrast, brightness and saturation.

In my camera bag

My Canon 550D, tripod, 18-135 mm f3.5-5.6 lens and just got a new one, 50mm f1.8

Feedback

Whenever kids are around, just wait because magic moments like this will arise at any moment.
