Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my driveway. It was a spontaneous happening after Jasmine, here, found her new car and bow sitting on her Sixteenth birthday!Time
It was in the afternoon because she had what she thought were all of her presents and we sent her move the car for company, and a group stood at the ready to catch her reaction. This was my favorite shot from the day. She was beyond joy and this is a lasting image of her day.Lighting
The lighting was natural on a crisp October afteroon with no clouds.Equipment
I used a Cannon programable E with no filters. Nothing further was usedInspiration
The spirit of the moment and the pure emotion from a happy sixteenth birthday girl. I watched this moment unfold with my camera pointed in her direction.Editing
This is a picture with no processing.In my camera bag
I carry a Cannon Programable E to all events because it gives pure crisp images. I also typically have a 60millimer lens and a tripod along as well. I rely on natural lighting as much as possible but I also carry a flash attachment.Feedback
Spontaneous pictures with a reliable camera and a ready to go attitude will benefit the new and seasoned photographer.
