Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the helix Park, in my home town in Falkirk

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

It was over cast tht day

Equipment

I used my Niton D5200 with a 18-55mm kit lens and a tripod

Inspiration

The Kelpies are 30-metre-high horse-head sculptures, standing next to a new extension to the Forth and Clyde Canal, and near River Carron, in The Helix, a new parkland project built to connect 16 communities in the Falkirk Council Area, Scotland.

Editing

A little light room work with an added B&W filter

In my camera bag

Just my 2 kit lenses, 18-55 and 70-200, spare battery and a few so cards

Feedback

The kelpies are equally stunning at nite as they are during the day, just find where suits you and have a go!!!
