Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken on a road called Spitewinter above the town of Wirksworth in Derbyshire.

Time

It was after the morning school drop off so about 8.30am

Lighting

It was natural sunlight in the winter, the frost was on the floor and it was misty in the Valley but so beautiful on the hill.

Equipment

My camera is a Nikon D7000 with a 10 - 20 Sigma Lens...no tripod or anything else.

Inspiration

It was the mist in the Valley that made me go up there, then I saw this before going to the edge of the field, and a second later the tractor came past, it was perfect timing, took the shot not really thinking it would come out okay, and it did, so I was very happy.

Editing

Can't think I did a lot to it apart from a few tweaks in lightroom to bring out the colour and clarity a bit and that's it really. the light was so good I didn't need to do a lot.

In my camera bag

All I have is my Nikon D7000 and my WA lens, a 18 - 200 Sigma and a 40 mm Nikkor Nikon Lens, and lens brush and a packet of polos :)

Feedback

I am no professional so I really can't advise anything, but one thing I would say is get up and get out there and take lots and lots of photos, but mainly, enjoy it and have fun. Oh and the Golden hours are perfect for lighting :)
