Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in the New Forest, Hampshire. It is actually only metres away from the road, but looks like it could be deep within one of the pockets of dense wooded areas.Time
Most of my photography is taken early in the morning. This is not the exception. I had not long missed the sun rise and the data file reads the time as 6 am.Lighting
I struck gold with the timing as it was the image was taken within the golden hour. There was also a mist present but not very noticeable within the tree line.Equipment
The equipment used was my canon R5 with RF100-500 lens so I did not have to walk through the mud. I also used tripod.Inspiration
I am a opportunist photographer. If something in the moment takes my eye. I will shoot just as hi did here.Editing
This photo been through the post editing mill. I set the seen by adjusting light, cropping etc. to a master image. Once completed I copied these settings to 2 other shots and created a HDR final image which this is. I use canons DPP4 as my editing software.In my camera bag
I mainly use Canon EOS R5 which has a RF100-500mm zoom on. My camera Canon EOS R seems to have the 28-70mm F2 welded on. This allows me to switch between the lenses easily having the 2 cameras. I use a harness to assist in carrying the camera rather than having all the weight of the camera and lens around my neck (I would recommend one with heavy cameras and lenses). A tripod is always in the car but I have a second if I plan a excursion. This is a Leofoto tripod which I needed to import as the only location the one with quick release legs is sold in the USA (NOT SOLD ANYWHERE ELSE) I find these easer to work with than the twist lock legs. If I decide I'm doing the hole hog then the Lee filters and sigma 14-24 F2.8 get taken out as well. The only down side with the sigma which is another great lens is I need the adaptor for itFeedback
I am still learning and think I am getting better. I think there is no right or wrong thing. If you see something take a photo of it, the cost of it is nothing but time, once you have your camera. The more you use your camera the more you understand what it can do (play with the settings and move away from auto).
