Technical Data Photo taken with handheld Olympus SLR film camera and Zuiko 180mm f2.8 lens using existing daylight. Approximate exposure 1/1000 second at f8 - Kodak T-Max 400 black & white film, processed normally. No lens filters were used. Film was scanned using a Nikon Coolscan series film scanner. Photo file was routinely optimized using Photoshop; levels and curves, sharpening, cropping and dust spot removal using clone tool. I use a Mac for all photo processing.
Comments When children are this engaged making good candid photos is about as easy as chewing gum. This photo was taken late in the day at a campground full of families and their children. Campgrounds are very good locations for candid children photos though the politics can be tricky. Never ask permission from the campground management; they've got nothing to gain and lots to lose by granting it. Rather, stroll around and casually ask individuals for permission to "take a picture". Of course, always always ask children's parents for permission. The man straining mightily on the far left is very prominent in this photo. If you want to draw attention to something in a picture, place it on an edge, like this.
