Behind The Lens
Location
The picture was taken on a cold winter/early spring day in southern Sweden (2021-03-13), I was walking with my family and my boys insisted that playing football was a suitable activity in overalls and other winter clothing. Despite the fact that the balls on the playground were somewhat deformed and fairly uninflated, a shorter football match was played. Used my 70-200mm, not to disturb the activity and to be able to still get "close up". Managed without getting too wet to stay low to get a good angle on both ball and foot.Time
The photo was taken in the afternoon at 15:00Lighting
As it is usually quite gray overcast during the winter, the light was actually a bit of a challenge, but for a short period the sun appeared and I was able to keep a relatively low iso and fairly high shutter speedEquipment
Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, Sigma 70.0 - 200.0 mm, ISO 100, 1/200, F 2,8Inspiration
What made me take this particular picture was the realization that the desire to play football is not controlled by either clothes, weather or bad equipmentEditing
I used affinity photo 1, Changed the white balance and corrected the colors so they were more true to life.In my camera bag
