Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken in Decon, Alberta, down near the river on our beautiful walking trails. Our friends the Letempliers were wanting a family photo shoot and graciously allowed me to take their family photos. I am a beginner photographer and really love and appreciate my friends giving me the opportunity to learn and have fun at the same time.Time
Our session was in the late morning on a chilly fall day.Lighting
I wanted to capture the beautiful Golden colours of the leaves while keeping the family as the main focal point.Equipment
I used my Canon EOS 450 D and 18-135mm lensInspiration
We came around a bend on the trail and I immediately saw the beautiful carpet of gold leaves. There was no doubt in my mind that this would be a beautiful shot.Editing
I did play with some editing, being a beginner I am still learning how to properly edit my photography.In my camera bag
I have my Camera, 2 lenses and my memory cards.Feedback
If you are a beginner like me, the only advice I have for other is to practice! If you see something beautiful, take the shot! Take many shots, in all different angles.
