Thank you. We are happy with the way we look at 70 and 65, respectively. We would like to take credit for it, but it's mostly just DNA. We appreciate your comment.

Thank you. We are happy indeed. There is nothing like meeting late in life to create such a close bond. Did you see our family photos: one all together with both dogs on one loveseat, the other all of us in the car on a road trip?

Thank you. Self-timers come in handy now and again. Hopefully, we still look okay for a couple of old farts.

Hello, George. Here is my dumb question for the day: what does your message refer to? I enter a lot of Challenges and don't even try to keep track. But I cannot find anything with the words 'Love Story' in the challenge title. Help!!!

Behind The Lens

Location
This photo was taken at the dock for our neighborhood lake.
Time
Taken around 6pm in April, 2019. We were on our way to dinner.
Lighting
Natural lighting. We were trying to catch the sun as it was setting, but we had to settle for it being a bit higher in the sky -- didn't want to blow our dinner reservations.
Equipment
Canon 5D Mk IV, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM lens. We set the camera on a Slik tripod so we could use the self-timer.
Inspiration
This was taken on Ning's 65th birthday. What reason could be better than that? We turn 65 only once.
Editing
The photo was cropped in Lightroom, then edited in Photoshop with the blur tool to enhance the background bokeh.
In my camera bag
My Canon EOS 5D Mark IV always has my Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L ii lens mounted on it. That is my go-to lens for the majority of my photos. I also carry several lenses: Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM, Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM [used for this particular photo], and a Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM. 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.
Feedback
Take your photo either just after sunrise or just before sunset to capture the magical 'golden glow' color of the sun. Try to avoid shadows unless you intentionally want them for effect.
