Behind The Lens

Location

I took it whilst walking along the river in Kingston

Time

About 8.30 am on a summer day.

Lighting

It was amazing it was as if the sun was shining behind me at the right time through the trees and exactly at the right moment I have seen this squirrel most mornings looking for nuts but I could not believe my luck as the squirrel kept still long enough for me to catch this shot. This is one of my best shots due to the timing and the fact that he or she was almost hidden within the leaves.

Equipment

It was taken with a Samsung phone, It was all about timing, light and the right phone to take such a picture.

Inspiration

I love nature and I am always looking for a picture that portrays nature in its full glory.

Editing

No I didn’t with this shot but I should have done.

In my camera bag

I don’t use cameras much now, phones are excellent now and with the amount of apps available now you can catch great photos. I have gone back to using a Polaroid recently.

Feedback

You need to have patience and take time to get the shot you require. If that means going back to the same shot every day and waiting for the right moment. It will be worth it.
