Behind The Lens
Location
The siblings were captured in Lions Park In Cheyenne, WY during one of the early Kelby Worldwide Photowalks.Time
The Photowalk was for several hours during a weekend day. I shot this a little after 4pm, as I was shooting a wide variety of images. It didn't really catch my eye at first, it was only later looking at it on the computer I realized it was one of my best shots of the day.Lighting
It was a pretty bright sunny day, and I shot with the light available.Equipment
I was using my Pentax K10D DSLR camera with a Pentax zoom lens. It was shot handheld, with no other equipment.Inspiration
I was just looking for interesting shots, with good backgrounds. In a park there's lots of interesting shots possible, but backgrounds can often be a problem. The picture was shot with a relatively low f5.6 f stop, which helped give the background just enough blur to fill in the picture, without distracting from the overall shot.Editing
Yes, I always do some. I cleaned up a few small spots in the image, along with some tweaks to contrast, clarity and sharpness.In my camera bag
That really varies. Sometimes I just carry a small point and shoot, with a SLR I usually carry a couple zooms and a prime or two. Depending on what I'm shooting photos of. I don't use a flash very often. Sometimes a small pocket tripod, occasionally a large tripod. The more equipment you lug around, the heavier and more cumbersome everything becomes. Unless you can leave it in a vehicle or have another person carry some for you. Often times less is more. Taking photos is more about seeing the shot, timing and catching it with what you have. Not carrying a camera store around in a giant backpack.Feedback
Just keep shooting. Keep looking for a slightly different angle, a different f-stop, a different time of day or weather condition, just something you haven't tried. Digital 'film' is pretty cheap. Experiment with different settings on your camera. You may stumble upon a great shot, or a great new way of shooting and seeing shots. And don't be afraid to experiment with post processing. You can drastically change a photo, and turn even a marginal photo into something pretty interesting.
