Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photograph at the Farne islands, just off the Northumberland coast.

Time

It was around lunch time to mid afternoon as I was sitting on a bench on inner Farne having a cup of tea.

Lighting

It was a lovely bright sunny day with a very light breeze.

Equipment

I used my Nikon D7100, 2x converter and 300mm f2.8 lens.

Inspiration

I had been trying to get a good photograph of a puffin all morning, when this one dropped in right beside me.

Editing

The only processing I have done to the photograph was a small crop. I don't like to edit photographs, I like to post them as taken.

In my camera bag

Generally I carry my camera with 2x converter and 300mm prime lens, I also carry my 24-70 f2.8 lens.

Feedback

Be patient and the perfect photo opportunity will present its self :)
