Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken after the birth of my godson at Franklin Woods Hospital. This moment of him and his father was perfect; not only did I capture him holding on to his daddy’s finger but the picture also captures the father’s wedding band.

Time

This photo was take in the afternoon hours, but the lighting was dependent upon the bay the baby was stationed in and the dim lighting around the room.

Lighting

Different light sources can be perfect for photography moments, and sometimes you can find the best lighting in the most unexpected places!

Equipment

I used my Canon Rebel to photograph the birth and events after the birth.

Inspiration

The moment was just right so I snapped it. A father meeting his son for the first time was a beautiful moment that couldn’t be missed.

Editing

Sample answer from paolobubu: “Usually landscape photography requires a lot of processing. In this particular case, I had to develop the raw 2 times (one for the land and another for the sky) to correct the white balance (since the auto option in the camera usually kills the color of the sunset). Then I proceeded to merge the 2 raws using luminosity masks.”

In my camera bag

A great example from corindimopoulos: “The first thing I always pack is my Canon 85mm 1.2 prime. A monkey could take an amazing picture with that lens, and given I am not that much more evolved, it has become my favourite piece of kit. I then pack a Canon 1Dx body, simply because it’s bomb-proof, and a second-hand 300mm 2.8 prime which is bigger than a bazooka but I enjoy using it. The third, but no less important lens is my Zeiss 21mm 2.8 prime. Jonathan Critchley recommended it and immediately my images improved. I love the weight of it. I like my equipment to weigh a lot. It gives me faith in the quality and robustness…”

Feedback

During moments like these, the best thing to do is capture the things that warm your heart, keep looking for the small things in the big picture, and always be ready, because the perfect moment can appear within a second.
