Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at Elvaston Castle Country Park in Derbyshire, UK. I'm lucky to have the park very local to me, it's a great place to practice my photography!

Time

It was just after lunch time, we had just enjoyed an ice-cream and as I approached this view it just sucked me in. I had to get a photo and only had my Samsung phone on me so I did my best to capture it with that!

Lighting

It was a naturally bright day so I was conscious of shadows. I wanted to capture the serenity and allow the viewer to feel what I felt in that moment.

Equipment

This was taken on my Samsung S10. No other equipment was used. Aperture 240/100?ISO 50?Shutter 1/1520?Focal Length 432/100?

Inspiration

The scene captures the beauty of the United Kingdom and feels very close to nature.

Editing

I deepened the colour and increased the clarity. I'm very much a novice to post-processing so I'm still 'in practice'.

In my camera bag

Historically, just my phone, but more recently I have started to find my way around a Nikon D350 and have been experimenting with that.

Feedback

If you feel it, shoot it!
