Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Daventry Country Park and Reservoir in Northamptonshire England not far from the ancestral home of the Spencer family including Diana Princess of Wales.

Time

This was taken in the beautiful soft glow during a spring sunset nice even light not too contrasty.

Lighting

I love early morning or early evening the light seems much more pleasing.

Equipment

Taken on a Panasonic FZ2200 bridge camera. It only has a small sensor but the very flexible LEITZ/LEICA 24-480mm equivalent lens is a big advantage.

Inspiration

The non native grey squirrel gets a very bad press in the UK having driven the British Red Squirrel into a few small habitats around England and Scotland. However I love the Greys cheesiness and intelligence, and they are so cute.

Editing

Jpeg straight from the camera!

In my camera bag

Bridge camera spare batteries and memory cards, beanbag rest polariser and an umbrella for the wonderful British weather!

Feedback

Get to know your subject observe long before the camera comes out and always research favourite snacks a few well placed peanuts got me this pose!
