Behind The Lens

Location

It was at one of my favourite places - Brandon Marsh Nature Reserve

Time

It was early, really, really early about 6am.

Lighting

Yes it was as the sun rose at the back of the reserve, where there are only fields and nothing else in view

Equipment

I had my Canon EOS650d and my 18-55mm kit lens at 55mm

Inspiration

For some reason I couldn't sleep, so went to Brandon Marsh at around 5am to get some sunrise shots, and as I got to this part of the reserve I noticed these teasels were framed superbly with the rising sun behind them - and realised I had a chance of a striking photograph

Editing

Yes, increased the contrast and shadow slightly to accentuate the tones and shadows of the teasel

In my camera bag

Canon EOS650d, 18-55mm Kit Lens, 55-250mm Canon Zoom, Sigma 10-20mm Ultra Wide Angle and Tamron 90mm Macro Lens

Feedback

Get up early, go soak in the sunrise - adds something amazing to a picture plus normally no one else is around unlike a sunset...
