Location
This was taken at home by the patio window. The window faces west and allowed a lot of natural light to pass in.Time
It was winter mid-afternoon and I was just playing around, I had an impromptu session.Lighting
Some of my best shots have been with the natural light available. Try every window available and see what the effect has!Equipment
I used my Canon 70D with a Canon EF 50 1.8 STM to capture this photo.Inspiration
Just a lazy day, simply impromptu and loved the way the light was coming in. The yellow blanket gave a nice background.Editing
Just very minor touch up, nothing more, nothing special.In my camera bag
Now I carry a Canon 5D mark IV and L EF 24-70 f2.8 II, a L EF 70-200 f2.8 IS II, a EF 85 f1.8, an L EF 300 f4, a 600ex rt II speed light and Hoya CP and ND filters. When this was taken, I was carrying a Canon 70D, Tamron 18-270 as my walk-around lens. I also carry a Sigma 10-20 F/3.5 DC HSM, a Canon EF 50 1.8 STM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 II L series, various Tiffen UV/haze filters, Kenko Pro1 ND's, Cameron CPF's. I have a TriggerTrap cable to experiment with for long exposures etc. A Metz 44 AF-1 flash unit rounds out my bag. I am now shooting full frame.Feedback
Just shoot! You have opportunities everywhere, just vision your pictures and try to compose what you envision. Step outside the traditional or standard 101's of composition, know when to break these rules. This will be learned by trial and error and by taking the time to admire our peers here. Take notes and build you skill and knowledge.
