Behind The Lens

Location

Ironically, as an Australian, I took this photo in Chengdu, China in a pond at the Giant Panda Rehabilitation Centre

Time

Late morning

Lighting

It was an overcast day

Equipment

This shot was taken on my Fujifilm Finepix S8100

Inspiration

The swan was swimming in a sea of seething Koi which made a colourful contrast to the black feathers. I was also bemused, as an Australian to see a black swan in China

Editing

No post processing

In my camera bag

I was travelling on holiday, so I only had my Fuji Finepix camera with me
