Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photograph at East Kirkby which is a old RAF station now home to the lincolnshire aviation heritage centre.

Time

I had been to RAF Coningsby early that morning and as there was nothing much happening at the time i decided to call at East kirkby on my way home

Lighting

it was just a normal sort of cloudy day.

Equipment

i shot this with my d3200 and a 18 to 70mm lens

Inspiration

I realy enjoy photographing this lancaster because they let you get very close to it.

Editing

Just a small amount of post in lightroom to darken the clouds a little and to take out a person stood by it.

In my camera bag

normally in my bag i take my nikon D3200 and,D7000,a18,55mm 18,70mm 50mm prime and 70,300mm lens.

Feedback

my advice to anybody would be to get to know your camera inside out and get out and take pictures as often as you can.
