Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo while on hoilday at a swan sanctuary. I used a 300mm lens fitted to my Canon camera. I lat down on florr ( and got some odd looks!) but used the max 300 zoom to get as close to the cynets and as sharp as I could. There was very little post- production, exept for a bit cropping, tone adjustment and sharpening. I'm glad the picture is enjoyed by so many.Time
This was taken around bout mid-day, but ther was a lot of shade to minimise any harsh shadows.Lighting
Nothing extra added.Equipment
Canon - and 300mm lens - that's all.Inspiration
I took a few of the swans & cygnets - but these were the closest I could get.Editing
Just a bit of cropping, tonal adjusts and sharpening.In my camera bag
I noprmally have my Canon 750D + plus a 35-86 lens + a Canon 100-300mm lens.Feedback
