I went on a day Trip with my sister and Brother-in-Law to the "Lake"

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in the "Plaza de Armas", in Arequipa, Peru'. It was my first visit to Arequipa, after several trips to Peru'.

Time

On1/06/2019, around1:30 pm. I was strolling around the Plaza while my neice & nephew were arranging a tour to Colca Canyon. I spotted this beautiful little girl and her 'pet' and was 'floored'! I knew I had to get some shots. I took 4 photos, and submitted this one. Each photo is distinct, showing different interactions with her 'pet', and myself. To me, they are all special. I will upload the other three soon.

Lighting

It was a bright, and sunny, but chilly day. The elevation at this site is 7,703 ft. / 2348 m. above sea level.

Equipment

I was using a Nikon D3500 & a Nikon 55-300mm non-VR lens. Details: 1/250 sec., f/8, 55mm, ISO 100, hand held.

Inspiration

Just one look at this little girl & her 'pet' was all of the inspiration I needed.

Editing

I only did a minor crop & touch-up from the original using Windows "Photo" app.

In my camera bag

I currently have the following gear: Camera:Nikon D5300, 24MP Lenses:Nikkor AFS 35mm f1.8, Nikkor AF-S DX 55-200mm f/4-5.6G ED VR II, Tamron 18-400mm F/3.5-6.3 DI-II VC HLD, Adapters: Vivitar Close Up Lenses; +1, +2, +4. Filters: Ultimax Studio Series; UV, FLD, PLP Tripod: Velbon Victory 450 Case: Lowepro AW 200 'sling back' case

Feedback

Try to be inconspicuous; just be an observer and not become a participant. I believe that is how to obtain truly 'candid' photos. In the last photo of this series, she made eye contact with me, and so did her 'pet'. It was a beautiful shot, but I was 'outed', so I stopped shooting.
