Behind The Lens

Location

My daughter and grand daughter were visiting and I was about to go out to a school as Santa. My daughter asked if I could pose with my grand daughter, Charlotte, with our front door as the background, hence the back lighting. She used her phone to take the picture which is one of our favourites as well.

Time

Mid morning in December. Our location in Australia was facing east and the sun was quite bright, coming through the glass panels of the door behind us.

Lighting

As per above but may have included a flash, as there is a glint off my glasses, but it is soft rather than harsh, so I am not sure.

Equipment

Samsung smartphone Camera.

Inspiration

I had the costume and was regarded as Santa by my grand daughter for the first 7 years of her life. I also visited her school (and others) every year since her birth

Editing

Instant capture of the decisive moment.

In my camera bag

None

Feedback

Experiment with light, backlight and flash lighting.
