Behind The Lens

Location

Bow Fiddle rock at Portnockie in Scotland

Time

this was taken in mid-morning on a cloudy August day

Lighting

all natural lighting

Equipment

Canon 5D Mark 3 with Canon 24-105 EF lens (kit), taken on a tripod - 3 shot HDR and a composite of two sets

Inspiration

i was visiting the north of Scotland with a fellow member of our local camera club, and we went to get some shots of the iconic Bow Fiddle rock, while we were there, we were lucky enough to witness multiple vessels, the canoe, a few ships and even a helicopter

Editing

two sets of 3-shot HDR combined to show the canoeist and the fishing boat in the same shot

In my camera bag

Canon 5D, canon 24-105 lens, Tamron 70-300 lens, various memory cards and batteries, random odds and ends, flash, etc...

Feedback

keep an eye open for opportunities, and don't be afraid to wait for the right shot - or take multiple and try and make the shot you want. it never hurts to be a bit creative with Photoshop.
