This image was taken in the garden on a Nice hot summers day with a doggy friend who loves to play with the hosepipe ... Honestly he is not as savage as he looks here :)Time
this image was taken while the sun was still quite low in the sky so as to create just the right atmosphere I was looking for...Lighting
The lighting in this image is all completely natural , sun , daylight and water droplets for effectEquipment
My equipment for this shot is as follows Nikon D90 Sigma 10-20 Wide angle lens The sun A Hose Pipe And a playful fluffy DoggyInspiration
I was simply looking to create a dramatic and eye catching shot, something a little different from the norm and something that creates a story within the mind , This is in fact the basis behind most of my work , I have always been inspired by the works of the journalistic photographer Steve McCurry although my works are not similar to his what has always really grabbed me with his work is that you simply have to look at it and it tells you a story and I have always tried to re create this feeling with my art works.Editing
Yes indeed , an adjustment to the colour temp and a little bit of black adjustment to create the desired effectIn my camera bag

When working with animals a lot of patience, something to use for bribery (treats work quite well) and if working with water as I was you simply cant be afraid to get a little wet.
