Behind The Lens
Location
I was trekking in China and my guide and I struck a bond . I was invited to lunch at her home with her family.Time
it was lunchtime . I had already had lunch but didn't want to offend so ate some more!Lighting
It was dark in the home so I had to search for light but I always force flash off as I don't really get on with flash !Equipment
Canon, hand heldInspiration
I do most of my shots handheld so as to not disturb the honesty of the shot, People are programmed to pose and most times you have no time .This was one of those comfortable silences during lunch that only comes with being married for years .Editing
I play with Lightroom until I think the scene is captured in the same way as I remember it .In my camera bag
I am really bad with equipment ! I admit I keep a spare memory card and battery on my bra strap lot quicker than going through bags!Feedback
Spend time with people and be respectful avoiding taking pictures where people are not comfortable .
