Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Coventry Airport, UK. This is where the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance is homed.

Time

It was taken early evening in December 2014, just as the Sun was setting.

Lighting

The sun was setting and bringing beautiful colours to the horizon.

Equipment

I use a Canon 400D.

Inspiration

I work at Coventry Airport as an aircraft refueller and had wanted to spend some quality time shooting the various aircraft that I work with every day. But I wanted to capture something more than your average aircraft spotter usually captures. When I saw the sun was setting, the idea came to mind. I had learned, just a few weeks before, how to create a flare on lights and wanted to see how it worked with the sun coming through an aircraft window.

Editing

I used Photoshop to bring a little more vibrancy to the colour of the sky.

In my camera bag

Canon 400D

Feedback

Turn your f number up to about f20 to give the sun a flare.
