Location
I took this photo in the back of my childrens school playground. The area itself isn't really all that much to look at, but I loved the way the light was hitting this one overhanging tree. Sometimes there's a little nook thats just right.Time
This was taken around 5:00 p.m.Lighting
I usually like to shoot around golden hour. But this was a pretty shaded area. I wanted it to have a warm, end of a summer day vibe. So I went for a little earlier time of day to get a lot of light filtering through the tree and rim light on her hair.Equipment
Canon 6d, canon 135mm 2.0 with lens hood.Inspiration
Location and light. I always carry my camera bag and a bag with a couple "picture" outfits for my kids just in case an oppurtunity comes up. I was sitting on the ground while they played on the playground and thought this tree was so lovely and peaceful. A couple candy bribes later, and I was able to get a few shots.Editing
A few adjustments in camera raw to bring out the greens a little. After that a couple curves layers in photoshop. lastly, sharpening.In my camera bag
Canon 6d, canon135mm 2.0, that mostly stays on my camera. Canon 50mm 1.4. Lens hoods. Altura photo Sling strap on the camera, so comfortable! And a couple sd cards.Feedback
Working with children requires a lot of patience. I try to be quick before the moment is gone and they've moved onto to something else. If I feel frustrasted that a location isn't the best to shoot in, I try to work on composition, even something simple can be pretty when framed out right.
