Behind The Lens
Location
It was taken where I live, Walton on the Naze, Essex, UK. A seaside town in north Essex, with a sandy beach and pier both in the background of the image.Time
Not 100% sure, as I did take this back in 2014. But I would image somewhere between 9 a.m and noon.Lighting
It was a bit overcast but a nice day, if I recall correctly.Equipment
I used a Canon PowerShot G11 - settings Aperture f/2.8?ISO 100?Shutter 1/400. I rested the camera on the sea wall to take the shot.?Inspiration
I saw the pack of toy soldiers in a charity shop. I remembered the Winston Churchill quote "We'll fight them on the beaches". So I brought the toys and a few days later went down to the beach to set them up and photograph them. I did a few shots like this one on the sea wall and some actually on the beach.Editing
I would have shot in RAW and processed it (back then) in Serif's PhotoPlus X8.In my camera bag
I only had at the time the Canon G11 and a tripod. So all pretty easy to carry about.Feedback
Look in charity shops for items to photograph, even if later you donate it back to charity once you've used it.
