Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken from my garden looking towards Salford Quays

Time

This was taken Nov 2013 at around 4pm, I just looked out of the kitchen window and saw the colour of the sky so I actually ran upstairs to grab my camera and hoped that I could capture it

Lighting

It was just a typical November early evening, sun was setting so there was still some light in the sky

Equipment

I shot this using a Nikon D3100 with a 35mm AF-S 1.8

Inspiration

I just saw the way the sky was turning orange and the cloud formation and thought it looked pretty cool. So as I hadn't had the camera long and I am still learning all the different settings I wanted to try and capture what I was seeing

Editing

The only post-processing that I used was a little adjustment of highlights and shadows in lightroom

In my camera bag

It all depends. If I am going light then it will normally be my D3100 with 35mm 1.8 and maybe the 18-105mm or the 55-300mm. If I am not sure what I might need I will take my Flipside 300 which will have the above gear plus flash unit, tripod, monopod, various filters, cleaning kit and even the 18-55mm kit lens

Feedback

As I am still new to all this and still learning what settings to use, I just find it trial and error and try to shoot when I can. You can read books and watch tutorials but getting hands on and actually playing with things and seeing what works best for you is more fun. I take photos to please me but if others like them then great.
