Behind The Lens

Location

Toronto's Fan Expo 2016

Time

Afternoon

Lighting

Open event lighting

Equipment

Canon 7D

Inspiration

They just appeared on the escalators, side by side, oblivious of each other. One older couple, one younger...portraying the same movie characters...it's so oddly symmetric that in each case the woman is holding the event guide in the same position...

Editing

Blurred the participants around the couple to bring focus on them. In another version I didn't do that and it's not quite as effective.

In my camera bag

Camera, two lenses, battery charger and Speedlight.

Feedback

Events are hard because you are giving no direction. Be observant. Watch people. Expand your visual focus and look for patterns of colour, or behaviour.
