Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in Studley Royal Park, a designated World Heritage Site in North Yorkshire, England. The park includes the ruins of Fountains Abbey, one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in the country.

Time

Late afternoon, with the autumn sun low in the sky.

Lighting

Natural light, under-exposed.

Equipment

Shot with a Nikon D300 and Sigma 18-250 @ 92mm.

Inspiration

The way the light fell on the grass and the tree caught my eye, but it was the shapes that made it.

Editing

The exposure has been adjusted to create an impression of under-exposure, with minor adjustments to contrast and clarity.

In my camera bag

Well, that depends where I am and what I am doing. I'm all Fuji now (X-T1 and X-T10), and will take along some or all of 18-135, 50-230, 100-400, 1.4x teleconverter, 27mm and 8mm fisheye lenses.

Feedback

Always shoot raw (or raw + jpg) as this gives far greater scope for reproducing the scene as you remember (or imagine...) it.
