Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken in my home village in the Peak District National Park in the UK, its my neighbours house and it looked spectacular in the dawn mistTime
this was taken just after dawnLighting
lighting to me is everything and early mornings is when for me the best lighting is there , im up 365 days a year before dawn and out waiting for the light, never miss a day and love every single second of being out there with all the wildlifeEquipment
Never used a tripod, i handhold my 400mm 2.8 on my d5, with d4 on my 70-200mmInspiration
I have a facebook page (look up Villager Jim) which i post my daily adventures and have amassed 130,000 followers who all look in to see what my daily catch is and its totally addictive being out every morning like a fisherman not sure what his catch will be!Editing
i use tonal contrast and brighness adjust mainlyIn my camera bag
d5 , d4 , 400mm, 70-200mm and 2 x extender thats itFeedback
get up early for 10 days in a row and one of those days you will grab a special shot, its a different time of day that most people dont see, go on treat yourself and set that alarm! Please follow me on www.facebook.com/villagerjim Thank You!
