Exactly what the marketers of phones want - you MUST take it with you everywhere, 24/7. I'm having mine waterproofed, so I can use it while having a shower. Have you tried watching tennis on a fone? :)

My apology for the late response. Lesson learned: 'Phone is on muted ever'. Kids have to call land line at home or my desk phone at work! Be well.

This was HER idea. She didn't know I took the photo. I think I fell in love with her all over again.

Thank you. This was her idea, not mine. We were in the plumbing section of Home Depot, and she just had to check Facebook. This is a candid shot, and it's one of many reasons why I love her.

Thank you. This was a candid shot: Ning had no idea I had taken it until I showed it to her. This is her sense of humor, and I think I fell in love with her all over again.

Congratulations on your Challenge win, Steve! That scene would have raised a few eyebrows at the store - a wicked sense of humour! :))

Thank you, Joop. My wife has a wonderful sense of humor, and I caught her in a candid photo while she was in Home Depot.

Thank you. Even though we were inside Home Depot, she just HAD to check Facebook. It's why I love her so much.

Location
This candid photo was taken in the middle of the plumbing section of Home Depot. Ning decided she needed to check Facebook RIGHT NOW, so she found the only seat available. I sneacked around the corner and shot this photo with my cell phone. I think I fell in love with her all over again.Time
The was shot in the middle of the day, which made it all the more funny.Lighting
This is just normal Home Depot indoor lighting.Equipment
I used a Samsung Galaxy S7 cell phone.Inspiration
The hilarious situation DEMANDED that the moment be captured for posterity. After all, we have five grandchildren to keep amused.Editing
The photo was cropped just a bit in Lightroom to eliminate extraneous elements.In my camera bag
My Canon EOS 5D Mk IV usually wears a Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II USM lens. That is my go-to lens for the majority of my photos. For this shot, I used a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L II USM lens. I also carry several other lenses: Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM, Canon EF 24-105 f/4L IS USM and a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. I have one non-Canon lens: a Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD G2. I try to shoot with natural light all the time, but on those occasions where I need an external light source, I use either a Neewer CN-216 LED panel or a Canon Speedlite 580EX. I have tripods by Slik, 3Pod and Manfrotto. I have a Canon EOS 7D, a Canon EOS 30D and a Canon EOS 10D, all of which I still have and use as appropriate.Feedback
Always be ready for the unexpected. Even if you must use a cell phone, as I did for this photo, just go for it.
