Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo while attending the wedding as a guest in Julian, NC .

Time

it was about 5 pm in April

Lighting

The sun was bright around the area but it was too bright and casted alot of shadows of their faces so i had them to move into a shaded area so i would still have enough light but no shadows.

Equipment

I took this shot with a Nikon D5100 with a Nikon AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm 1.4-5.6G Lens . No other equipment was used

Inspiration

This little boy was only 4 years old and he had admired his mom all day talking about how beautiful she was , so I told her I wanted a picture of just him and her when she told him to take a picture with her this was the look he gave and I was ready for it. This is one of those unique moment shots every photographer hopes to catch.

Editing

I used my editing program, i use picasa 3 , to add a little highlights on the subjects then enhanced them just a little bit

In my camera bag

I always keep 3 different sized lenses, both my cameras, extra batteries ( charged and ready to use) , cleaning kit and extra SD cards just in case one quits working properly.

Feedback

If you want to capture this type of shot you have to be ready at all times. My favorite part of being a photographer is getting the un-posed, unusual shots and to get those you have to keep your camera ready.
