Kirsten Weber - Gun Control

ISO: 800 Aperture: 4.5 Shutter Speed: 1/180 Lens: 24-105

This was a picture that I took for the print newspaper. Mechanically, this picture wasn't too difficult to take, however, I did overexpose it a little bit. It wasn't too bad though, cause I brought the exposure down in lightroom. My favorite part of taking this picture was the whole story behind it. I had no idea who this person was to begin with, but they told me to take a picture of her so I was all like, ok! Apparently, this girl's neighbors were murdered and now she sleeps with a gun. It was kind of awkward at first to take the picture, cause like I said, I didn't know the girl, but I got Maggie (the girl writing the story) to come with me and that was good! I really liked that she came with me because of the fact that I knew after taking the pictures that I got what she wanted.
