Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken whilst walking around the Eden Project in Cornwall as with most of my photography it's on the spot picking up the beautiful nature around us.

Time

It was taken just before lunchtime, I noticed the robin checking for crumbs and food among the tables and chairs of one of the cafes, every now and then it would perch on the back of a chair. I waited for the right moment and caught the image.

Lighting

Not a bright sunny day but semi cloudy

Equipment

This was taken hand held using my Canon 550D with 400mm telephoto lens

Inspiration

I adore capturing nature and natural images

Editing

Just cropped to suit the image

In my camera bag

Canon 550D and Canon 500D, 3 telephoto lenses, a selection of prime lenses, flashgun, filters, spare batteries, etc.

Feedback

Always be ready as with nature you never know when the perfect shot may present itself.
