Location
This picture was taken on an old firetruck that I found at a garden center nursery.Time
It was late afternoon, the garden center was closing, so I had to work as quickly as possible.Lighting
It was the golden hour, so the lighting was perfect, but changing quickly.Equipment
This shot was taken with a point & shoot camera. Kodak Easyshare Z1012 which worked great for the quick situation.Inspiration
This was Colton's first birthday, and also his "golden birthday". He loved firetrucks so that was the theme of the day! I normally don't take pictures of people, and so it was a new experience for me.Editing
Yes! I used a HDR software, Photomatix Pro. I decided to go with black and white because the firetruck was painted bright pink, and took away from the focus on Colton.In my camera bag

Don't try to pose a one year old, it doesn't work! Just let them be as they are. Getting down on their level and trying to make them laugh seems to work best. Have fun yourself.
