Behind The Lens
Location
Was a cousin's birthday at his home in the middle of country. Many friends arrive and some with children. The dog was about 1 year old and from beginning when arrived home, he was afraid from people. This day he received a very long chain just to hold near us. Melanie conquered him. He was just trying to understand what she explained. Look his eyes. We know he understood her explanation and had no more fear from people. IncredibleTime
It was mid day of a hot and sunny day, so both were under the shadow of a big treeLighting
As was too much light around and many not interesting distracting things at back, I decided to and could disappear them, so both were alone, in center, well illuminated and well focusedEquipment
I used my Canon 7dMkII with the excellent 70-300 Canon lens, hand heldInspiration
After shooting birds, many birds indeed, for more than 2 hours, finally got tired and sat under shadow when both came into action. Had a lot of fun shooting themEditing
The post processing used was to blur the back and preserve the only interest of the photoIn my camera bag
Actually I am using only my Sony RX10MIV , as I am carrying a telescope, a tripod and a monopod, all just for Birdwatching among other things, as may be water, food and some coat to use when returning home. Telescope is a great tool in Birdwatching and is used to share with friends too.Feedback
Sometimes, like now in this photo, it takes some time to prepare your mind and choose the place, light and different positions to get something interesting. In this case after many shots, I could get very nice 3 or 4 ones that speak from themselves.
