Behind The Lens

Location

I had a bricklaying job to do for a friend, so had got up early and driven to their estate. While working on the top of the wall I realised that the low-lying mist and the rising sun would make a super picture. Unfortunately (and most unusually for me) having left home early, and only going to work, I had forgotten to throw my camera bag into my van. This shot, I am almost ashamed to say, was therefore taken on my mobile 'phone.

Time

About 7am.

Lighting

Purerly using natural light.

Equipment

Sadly, just a mobile 'phone. Sad, when I've got hundreds of pounds of bodies and lenses at home. Still, it shows what even a most basic 'camera' can do.

Inspiration

The beauty of the scene.

Editing

No, the image was good enough not to need to enhance it artificially.

In my camera bag

Sony body, sigma 10-20 and 20-200, sony 500. Those cover most eventualities. If I'm aiming for a specific type of shot, I've a wide variety of prime lenses to use too.

Feedback

Get up early, keep your eyes open, and always make sure you've got some type of camera on you at all times!
