Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken of my Granddaughter, Emma, competing in a horse show competition last Autumn .in the North Houston, TX area..

Time

This picture was taken at @ noon in late Fall. Very difficult to take motion shots and freeze them without blurring at this time of day.

Lighting

The sun was just reaching the point in the sky that it is right above you. You can see though that it was rising and perfect for highlighting Emma and the horse in this shot!

Equipment

I have a Panasonic Lumix DCM- FZ1000 - Just used the settings on the camera.

Inspiration

At the time I was teaching her sister, Granddaughter, Abigail, to take pictures as she was going on a school trip to Europe. This picture is one that we took together and loved the most!!! Emma was very happy and loved it too!

Editing

We did play with the lighting/shading around the edges a bit in the processing to make the subject details stand out even more and not take away from the subject as she was turning the horse!

In my camera bag

I do have a small tripod, a filter for the camera, a lens cleaning cloth and my camera instruction book just in case I run into something different then I have before.

Feedback

If you are relatively new like I am to Photography, read all the instructions that come with the camera and play with a few trial basis Photo classes so that you can figure out what comes easier and learn from them. Have patience and shot all the pictures that you can! You will be surprised how much we teach each other in developing a style of photography that works great and well for each of us. You can always delete the pics that do not turn out right. If you do get one you think is great though, do not work on that picture!!!! Make a copy of it and experiment with that one! Good luck!!! ENJOY!!!!
