Anemone...red in colour originally, but black and white really impressed me... Just a Nikon 3100 and practising rule of thirds and depth of field :)

This was taken during my holiday with my family in Menorca. The warm glow of the sun in the sky at 8.30pm during an evening stroll was lovely, and jus

I wanted to capture depth of field as it was a long pathway, and very tranquil today. This is Queens Park in the Southside of Glasgow.

Taken during the last evening recreational photgraphy class.. our tutor Jim told us to go and make an everyday object interesting. So here is a random

Beautiful colours captured of the final autumn leaves with the Nikon D3100.

I drew a bit of attention to myself on saturday afternoon taking pictures of this tatty old bench outside the local library. When I went for a coffee

Behind The Lens

Location

I was walking past a very messy garden and the wind was blowing, and spotted a load of dandelions.

Time

It was late afternoon.

Lighting

It was an overcast day and threatening to rain, so the sky was full of rain clouds. I liked the fact that it was a bit darker as it helped for the dandelion seeds to stand out more .

Equipment

I used the Nikon D3100 with the 18-55mm lens. No other equipment was required as I just done a close up shot.

Inspiration

The wind lifting the dandelion seeds out caught my eye and I wanted to capture that gentleness of them taking off.

Editing

I decided that it would be more atmospheric in mono - I also like the fact that mono draws the viewer in to look closely and see detail that they may overlook with a colour photo.

In my camera bag

The Nikon D3100 with two lenses - an 18-55mm and the 55-200mm Nikkor.

Feedback

Just don't over think it. See nature for what it is, it is ever changing and carry the camera with you at all times because those opportune moments disappear fast!
