Behind The Lens

Location

Taken from inside one of the carriages on the London Eye - Westminster - London -UK

Time

The shot was taken just after midday

Lighting

By chance my family and I chose to take the ride on the 'eye' when the weather was clearing up and there was a hazy light right across the river.

Equipment

If I'm honest I've owned so many cameras and keep changing them so often I can't be certain which one I used - possibly a Canon 5d ii - 18-55mm lens at wide angle - tripod - Lee filters ND grad and polariser - bracketed shots to create HDR effect (NB - the carriage stopped right at the top of the big wheel - plus the clouds were moving very slow giving me time to change camera settings in between each shot

Inspiration

Very lucky our carriage stopped right at the top and the view was amazing (including the physical structure looked striking too)

Editing

I sometimes do some adjustments using photos hope - lighting, contrast saturation and a few others

In my camera bag

Minimalist / Camera Flash Lens Filters Batteries Remote Control few other essentials

Feedback

Just try bracketing as many shots as poss
