Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken in my boyfriends front yard. There was only one tree that was dropping leaves. It was absolutely perfect!Time
I’ve heard it many times from other photographers and I’ll say it now, golden hour is the best time for fantastic pictures. Leaves+puppies+golden hour=adorable fall pictures!Lighting
The lighting in this photo was all natural. I had the puppy positioned in the shade of the house with the fantastic soft light of golden hour.Equipment
This photo was shot on my Canon rebel xs with a 1.8 50mm canon lens.Inspiration
Honestly, it was just one of those “I should really grab a picture because this is just too cute” moments. My boyfriend, our friends, and I were all outside just hanging out and having a good time. They brought their new puppy and he was just the sweetest thing laying at their feet in the leaves. I couldn’t resist going and grabbing my camera.Editing
I did have to do some minor post processing. There were some human feet that made their way into the background so I removed those and boosted the warmth in the photo.In my camera bag
I carry my camera (obviously) 3 separate lenses, cleaning equipment, an extra battery & SD card, an external flash, and a small tripod that folds up nicely.Feedback
All I have to say is take your camera everywhere you go. I can’t tell you how many great photo opportunities I’ve missed because I left my camera at home. Seize the moment!
