Behind The Lens

Location

Kircowan, Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, UK

Time

Late afternoon

Lighting

The sunlight highlighted the Robin against the dark trees in the background

Equipment

Sony DSLR-A380, Sigma 70-300mm, handheld

Inspiration

I was going out with the camera, and as I got to the end of the drive, the Robin landed at the side of the gateway, it was illuminated perfectly against the dark background, so I grabbed my camera from the passenger seat, lowered the passenger side window, and grabbed the shot

Editing

A slight vibrancy boost and sharpening, and removed the tip of a leaf from the bottom right corner

In my camera bag

2x DSLR-A380 bodies, 18-70mm, 70-300mm, 170-500mm, flash unit, GorillaPod and tripod

Feedback

Keep alert when out with the camera, some things just happen right in front of you and can be easily missed
