Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my back yard.Time
The sun sets in just the right place in my back yard during golden hour for beautiful back it portraits.Lighting
I waited until golden hour because I wanted that dreamy ethereal look that back lit images provide.Equipment
This shot was taken on my Canon 5D Mark II and my Canon 70-200 f/ 2.8 lens. No other equipment was used.Inspiration
The lilac bush in my yard was in beautiful bloom, and it inspired me to take this photo.Editing
I did some color grading in Photoshop and accentuated the lens flare.In my camera bag
I have a few different lenses but typically it is either my canon 70-200 f/ 2.8 or my canon 85mm f/1.2.Feedback
I think lighting is key to making any image beautiful. My advice would be to chase the light.
