Jeff Harmon does a detailed "How I Got The Shot" (HIGTS) for the first portrait shot he felt like he created instead of just captured. It happened to be a wedding photo taken in the summer of 2017. He talks about how he actually had a sad ending to the story because the Lexar USB drive he was using to store photos for use on his MacBook Pro failed and took the original Raw files with it. Then he talks about the factors involved in making this photo different from the others he has done over the past 5 1/2 years since getting his first DLSR back in December 2011.
