Location
This photograph was taken in Dunham Massey, Cheshire, England.Time
Taken on a winter afternoonLighting
The day was overcast but the sun shone through a gap in the clouds and was reflected in a large pond. By underexposing the image the trees remained in shadow, although there are colours appearing in the gloom.Equipment
Canon EOS 400 with 18-55mm EF-S lensInspiration
My inspiration was to create an otherworldly, ethereal image without any post-processingEditing
This image was created entirely in camera using slow, intentional movement of the camera during exposure.In my camera bag
Today I have a Canon 60D, a 10-18, an 18-55 and 75-300 lenses in my bag.Feedback
Experiment. Digital photography gives instant results so you can easily adjust framing, exposure choice of focal distance to give different results. Don't be put off when things don't turn out as expected, the more you experiment the more you understand what gives the best results.
