This shot was taken with a Canon 1D-Mark III using a EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM zoomed out to 16mm (20.8mm effective) at f/8 and 1/80 of a second using ISO 400 in Portland, Oregon.
I was in Portland taking pictures of all sorts of things, but none of the shots were especially interesting. When we got to a fun water feature, my wife and our friend Yin Yin couldn’t help but soak their feet. These girls were having fun and asked me to take a picture, and low and behold it’s my favorite shot of the trip. Lesson learned – I was so busy looking at eye level, that I forgot to look down and nearly missed a great picture. While Moon and Yin Yin would probably love for me to Photoshop their feet, I’ve left this one straight out of camera (only minor Lightroom adjustments) with no cropping because it reminds me (and hopefully you) that this wasn’t a staged shot. I now see more than just what is in front of me. Looks like Bryan Peterson was right!
