Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on our back deck in Miami, Florida as you can see by the floor fan and other deck accoutrements... not a lot of room for 4 big dogs to maneuver, but they certainly managed!

Time

This photo was taken in the late afternoon while the days were still long.

Lighting

This was really not the best time of day for lighting, however it would have been impossible to reproduce this at a later time.

Equipment

No flash or tripod - Canon PowerShot SX10 IS Aperture: f/2.8, ISO: 125, Shutter Speed: 1/100

Inspiration

I feel that this photo really illustrates the wonderful-ness of having your overjoyed pet uncontrollably smother you with kisses - and also the happiness an overjoyed pet feels when he/she is allowed to smother you with kisses - multiplied by four!

Editing

Only worked on some minor cropping of the photo.

In my camera bag

No usual photographic equipment... as an amateur, just camera or iPhone!

Feedback

If you find yourself in the right place at the right time, don't hesitate to take advantage of it and shoot away. Every once in a while too much plannning, thought and delay can get in the way of capturing the spontaneity of the moment.
