Location
This photo was taken at my sister in law's home. She was celebrating her 25th birthday on May 5th. Unfortunately, due to the current situation of the world, we could not have a large party.Time
This photo was taken around 6pm. This is after we had some takeout dinner and we wanted to sing happy birthday!Lighting
We had a bit of light coming from her windows, which you will see in the background where the "Happy Birthday" sign is. The lit candles also have a nice glow on her face.Equipment
This was shot using my Canon RP with the 50mm lens, with a Manfrotto tripod I had just received that day.Inspiration
At the time, we were both wearing masks, and realized that it was such a weird time to celebrate her birthday. We wanted to still have a little fun and this photoshoot helped a ton.Editing
Yes, I used Adobe Lightroom CC to add some vignetting around the corners and add a bit more darkness to the photo.In my camera bag
I'm still building up my gear, so I usually just run around with my 50mm as I love to take portraits or take photos of my friends.Feedback
This was spur of the moment, so carry your camera with you as much as you can! I'm glad I had it this day.
