Behind The Lens

Location

I bought the wonderful Canon 5D mark 2 in 2012 and loved it. I still do. Despite having a 5D mark 3 and 4, this is a very special camera. I bought my Land Rover Defender 110 in 2015 and I think the visit to Pistyll Rhaedr Falls was my first major trip in it.

Time

It was late morning following a really heavy period of rainfall over the past couple of weeks

Lighting

Misty, in the gorge with low light. Taken from the footbridge. Very atmospheric

Equipment

Handheld only

Inspiration

It presents a great composition. Used my 24-105mm canon F4 lens Mark 1 another great bit of kit.

Editing

Yes, but only minimally and that was to raise light in the shadows and to increase the vibrancy

In my camera bag

Just had the 24-105 on the 5D

Feedback

A lot of photography is luck! But having a good base i.e. a good camera and lens will certainly help......the conditions were just right despite being dull and overcast....just look, then look again at what you are taking a picture of, with your ‘photographic’ eyes and things will happen.....
