Location

This was taken at my great-niece's birthday

Time

it was early afternoon

Lighting

The candles were lighting her face, but I didn't realize it until I was processing shots later

Equipment

This was taken hand-held with a Canon 5D Mk III and 85mm F1.8 lens

Inspiration

I was just plaing with the camera at her birthday party

Editing

light and color were enhanced a bit using Lightroom

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Canon 80D (I finally wore out the shutter in my trusty 70D) with a Tamron 16/300mm mounted, and a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses, ranging from a 8mm diagonal fisheye to a Sigma 200-500mm telephoto depending on what I'll be shooting. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 16-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open

Feedback

Check your shots carefully, you never know what cool unintentional things you captured!
