With no travel for a long time now, I carry my camera and some of the lenses almost every day to work, expecting something to come up. It turned out to be a good thing to do, in the end, since I had all the required equipments when I saw these kids at a contruction site next to our office. It was evening time and the sunlight was coming from behind them, giving me a good backlight. I watched them playing for a while and mounted the Canon EF 180mm f/3.5L (macro) lens and started clicking:
The kids were kinda curious what I was doing there but soon ignored me as I pretended that I was shooting monkeys. They seemed busy acting out what their parents do for a living. Still, they gave me occassional glances so that I can click. The light was barely there for the 180mm and I didnt have the tripod. So, the ISO was bumped up to 800, Av mode was opted with f/3.5 and the camera came up with this 1/160s exposure shot.
All the settings remained for the 2nd pic as well, but the camera returned a 1/200s exposure for this shot. The light was fading by now and I packed the camera back to the bag, to watch them some more time playing amidst the bricks, concrete and the wreckage at this site.
