Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo of my nephew at the end of a country road in central California.Time
This photo was taken just before the sun went down.Lighting
This photo was taken with natural light. I decided it was too difficult to chase down a toddler with a strobe :)Equipment
It was captured with a Canon 5D MKII and a 70-200mm 2.8 Canon lens.Inspiration
I wanted to get pictures of my tough little nephew on his toy motorcycle with smoke trails behind him. We put smoke bombs behind him for effect. This is one of the few photos that didn't have smoke behind it. It was our very last shot. He started to take off his sun glasses, stepped off his little bike and said,"I'm done!"Editing
I did a bit more post on this image than I usually do. I brightened the image, eliminated distractions and made the sky red to enhance the mood of the image.In my camera bag
Canon 5D MKII, Canon 70-200mm 2.8 lens and a Canon 24-70mm 2.8 lens.Feedback
When working with children have a plan, make it fun, move fast and don't quit shooting.
