We were on our way to do some building inspections when we decided to pull off for a quick break at Boya Lake. The sun was shining bright on the road

Working in remote places means your morning commute is quite different than others.

Location

This photo was taken at Long Beach just outside of Torino while on family vacation with the family.

Time

This was taken just after lunch time. Joey had just finished his lunch and couldn’t wait to get back in the water. Of course this meant that Cali, the dog, and I had to come join him to see how big he could splash

Lighting

It was a typical mid day sunny day so the light wasn’t the greatest but thankful on this splash run the sun was to the left no causing to much trouble.

Equipment

No fancy equipment on this shot. I had stole my wife’s Canon Rebel as I had yet to purchase a camera for just me. The camera just had a stock kit lens but as I didn’t every use VR before I was used to the simpler lense.

Inspiration

I always enjoy taking pictures of the family. Being able to capture the kids while they are playing is not only easier as you don’t need to try and convince them to sit still and smile, but it also turns out better results as they just be themselves and act natural.

Editing

I was still shooting JPEG back then and didn’t even have Lightroom so all my post processing was done primarily with iPhoto. Just some adjustments to light and colour and that’s about it.

In my camera bag

Back then all I had was a single camera pouch holding my camera and a spare SD card. Boy how things have changed. Now I have my Lowepro backpack with a couple lenses, 24-120 F4 and 70-200 2.8, my Nikon D750 and depending on what I’m doing sometimes the gimbal and drone.

Feedback

Better bring a big SD card! The thing about taking candid photos of the kids is it’s hard to time what they are doing. So set your camera to burst mode and get ready for a wild ride.
