Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at a safari park in Scotland. I was lucky, I was in the right place at the right time as the otters seemed to snuggle up together. I'm no expert photographer, I take photos for fun but sometimes I get lucky.

Time

This was taken early afternoon if my memory serves me right.

Lighting

It was just the natural lighting of the day.

Equipment

Just my camera in my hand, a Nikon Coolpix L110 which was a present from my husband.

Inspiration

I thought the otters looked so special together and expected them to move before I could get my camera out but it was my lucky day as they seemed to wait for me.

Editing

I edited the photo on Viewbug giving it a spotlight effect.

In my camera bag

A spare memory card and lots of extra batteries.

Feedback

I'm just an amateur who takes photos for fun, photography is my hobby and sometimes I get what I think is a special photo that I'm very proud of. I wouldn't presume that I could advise anyone on how to take a better photo for me it's the luck of the draw.
