Behind The Lens

Location

At a family get together at my brother's property about an hour out of Melbourne.

Time

This was getting late in the day. Afternoon sun streaming through the trees.

Lighting

I love filtered sun. It really softens the intensity of natural light. So a combination of filtered light through the trees and a less intense afternoon Spring sun was just perfect.

Equipment

This was my Canon...... Using my portrait lens (which I love with the short DOF). Lying on the ground and trying to remember to take the shot rather than just playing with my nephew.

Inspiration

I love seeing kids just being kids. I had been playing with my nephew earlier and thought how awesome he looked against the background. Looking pretty sharp in his threads and beret. I'm not a big fan of posed kids photos so just wanted to capture him exploring and having fun.

Editing

Very basic PS edit. Just cropped out a bit of distracting background.

In my camera bag

Variable ND filter, heap of cards, portrait lens, 18-55 lens, 75-250 lens, spare batteries, lens hood and snacks.

Feedback

Filtered light Get down to kids level Capture a spontaneous moment rather than staged Spend some time playing with kids first Always make it fun for the kids Accept that sometimes it just doesn't happen and have a crack another day
