Behind The Lens

Location

I took the image locally to me in Northants

Time

It would have been around mid afternoon

Lighting

The lighting took care of itself really, the sky was so dramatic I couldn't resist.

Equipment

My first DSLR Nikon d3100 with 18-55mm kit lens hand held.

Inspiration

I was actually out with my 500mm lens looking for wildlife to photograph but soon changed when i see this shot.

Editing

Yes!........the lighting strike is fake done in Photoshop ......Sorry :-O

In my camera bag

I now have a Nikon d7000 with 18-55mm kit lens, a Nikon 50mm f1.8 prime lens and a Sigma 70-300mm. Manfrotto tripod plus various filters.

Feedback

Take the chance while it's there. If you go out to try to take a photo of something specific and something else comes along, change your lens and grab it. I was looking to shoot a Red Kite that day.
