Behind The Lens

Location

This is in my living room with a sheet on a chair.

Time

As I recall, it was after the sun was down and we were in for the evening.

Lighting

Actually this is only the fluorescent lighting in my home.

Equipment

I captured this on my Nikon D5000 and nothing else.

Inspiration

My small dog had a litter of puppies and there were two of them that were almost identical, a boy and a girl. I needed to capture their sweetness as I only could keep 1 of them. I called the boy, whom I wanted to keep but had to find a good home, my polar bear and the girl, or chosen “keeper” is named Chunkamunk.

Editing

I changed the photo from color to black and white as the contrast and simplicity was worth emphasizing.

In my camera bag

My camera, 18-55mm lens, 55-200mm lens, a lens cloth, an extra battery, a few filters, a whistle, a compass, a small snack, small roll of toilet paper, emergency blanket, a mirror, a small notebook and pencil, and a small magnesium fire starter.

Feedback

Look them in the eyes and truly connect with the subjects. Focus on capturing the subject more than capturing the perfect shot. Love and laugh and have fun!
