Location
At the farm in Powell, Wyoming. In the pen where I keep my bucket calves.Time
Early afternoon, around 2pm. I have to keep an eye on them since I am the one raising them. So I check on them often, sometimes they let me take a photo before running over to see if I have any milk to feed them.Lighting
This one is just natural light, partly cloudy day. No harsh cast shadows, sometimes very hard not to get the pen rail shadows. I would have loved to have a sparkle in their eyes but I really like how this one turned out and that others like it as well.Equipment
iPhone 11, 72dpi, f/1/8, 1/1206 sec, iso 32. Just hand held, no flash.Inspiration
I love calves, especially ones I get to care for and raise. Sharing photos of them growing up is fun and good practice for me. I also use them to help improve my other art, painting.Editing
If I did any on this one it would have just been cropping. I don't remember doing any though.In my camera bag
Usually have my iPhone on me but I prefer using my 35mm digital camera, a rebel eos.Feedback
Just keep clicking. The nice thing about digital is that you can take an abundance of photos to learn the light, settings and framing that you want for any particular subject and go from there. Just have fun.
