Behind The Lens

Location

There was a Native American Festival held at the Fairgrounds in East Brunswick, NJ.

Time

Afternoon

Lighting

It was a pretty hot, humid day. Bright sunshine-outdoors.

Equipment

Canon 70D. 55-250mm lens. Handheld. No flash

Inspiration

I'm not a people photographer. I usually photograph wildlife and landscapes, but I'm always looking for new places and things to shoot. I came across an ad for the festival, which is a pretty unique event in my area. I decided at one point to concentrate on the faces of the participants.

Editing

Yes. I liked the original color image, except for the over exposed sky. I felt it was still a strong image, so converted it to B&W. Some sharpening, contrast and dropping the saturation.

In my camera bag

Canon 70D. Canon 100-400mm, 55-250mm telephoto, 28mm wide angle and my Sigma 105mm macro.

Feedback

Beware of your backgrounds. Look for unique facial expressions. Fill the frame with your subject. Shoot what catches your eye!
