Behind The Lens

Location

at the Cholmondly Pageant of Power, Cholmondly castle, in Cheshire

Time

I think this was late afternoon

Lighting

I was nice and overcast, no harsh lighting

Equipment

Eos 1Ds mkiii, 300 f2.8. handheld

Inspiration

This is Anthony Burgess, the World jet ski freestyle champion. When I heard he was performing I just had to attend. He was an amazing athlete and I had seen pics of him before. He performed nice and close to the bank of the lake where I was standing and only 2 or 3 pics were not worthy of using as he travelled so fast, sometimes he just leapt out of the frame...lol. He is a photographers dream, great colours, exciting, and really puts on a show, giving plenty of opportunity to take shots.

Editing

just cropping and contrast boost

In my camera bag

Eos 1Dx, Eos 1Ds mk iii, 24-70 f2.8, 100 mm macro, 15mm fisheye, 70-200 f 4, 50 mm 1.2, 580 ex ii flash and my trusty 300 f 2.8

Feedback

get out and try new stuff, don't sit indoors, I try to visit any event I can, no matter what just to practise
