I love the intimacy and emotion here. Also, the contrast between the classical "formality" suggested by the architecture, and the Big Mac bag!

Behind The Lens

Location

The Utah State Capitol Building in Salt Lake City.

Time

6:48 p.m.

Lighting

Golden hour lighting. The sun was setting on the left side of the frame. No flash or reflectors.

Equipment

Nikon D850 Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 at 70 mm and f/2.8 ISO 400 1/40s

Inspiration

This was taken during a SLC Photography shoot. The couple, not part of the shoot, was happy and enjoying themselves. I thought to capture some of their fun. They were delighted when I showed them the results on the back of my camera. I gave them my contact information, but did not hear from them. Months later, in a restaurant in Provo, Utah, I saw them walk in. I waived to them. They remembered me and said they had lost my contact information. They asked me to send the images and gave me an email address. I sent them their images, along with a model release. They have not replied.

Editing

Post processing was with DxO Photo Lab. Other than the DxO default, and checking the horizon, you are seeing it as shot.

In my camera bag

D850, 28-300mm (Swiss Army knife lens) 24-70mm Tamron f/2.8, 70-200mm Nikkor f/2.8, Nikkor 85mm f/1.4, flash, batteries, memory cards, lens cloth, etc.

Feedback

Don't be afraid to point your camera at people in public places. This is one of several images I've captured to the delight of the people in them.
