Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo at Twin Lakes Park in Greensburg, PaTime
I believe it was around 5 pm, late winter, early spring.Lighting
No flash was used, it was near the lake, lots of trees and no direct sunlight.Equipment
My D7200 with 50mm 1.8G lensInspiration
This is my baby nephews hand, followed by his mother, then his father. They’ve been through a lot of pain. I was trying to take a picture of just his open hand, but he wouldn’t relax. I thought about what a fist represents (generally). When I see a fist, I think of strength, and a fighter. I thought it would be really neat to see all of them “fight” together, as a family.Editing
I added some coloring to it, yes. I wanted to see a more artistic feel.In my camera bag
I love my 50mm lens for small portraits. I use my d7200, and d5300 as a back up. I do a lot of video as well.Feedback
Don’t think too hard on making something work. If you’re goal is to create a specific look and it’s just not working out, there’s a good chance your impromptu back up plan will pan out better than the original idea.
