Behind The Lens

Location

This is a classic example of looking in your own backyard for inspiration. This was taken in my driveway while waiting to take my daughter to school.

Time

This was shot at 8 am.

Lighting

Lighting was natural sunlight. The sun had risen about 45 min before the shot was taken. I was facing NE.

Equipment

Handheld 5D MkIII with 70-200mm lens.

Inspiration

The tree was full of birds that morning making a horrible racket, but the scene looked picturesque and was begging to be photographed.

Editing

Crop and white vignette.

In my camera bag

5D MkIII. 70D. 70-200mm, 16-35mm, 35mm prime

Feedback

Patience / silence and take a heap of shots!
