Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Gorse Hill City Farm, Leicester, UK.

Time

It was in the afternoon around 2 pm. It was a not a bright day.

Lighting

We have used natural sunlight. It was a gloomy day, I thought to myself a bad day out and unexpectedly there was light for a while.

Equipment

It was a D5300 and a basic 70-55mm kit lens. No flash used.

Inspiration

A small child was feeding the goat..as you can see the mouth of the goat open to grab the food. The credit is to my husband who was at the child's level to capture this pic. . :) A beam of light was giving a softness to the frame.

Editing

It is processed using Capture NX-D. Basic software with Nikon camera.

In my camera bag

D-5300 and basic kit lens and a 35mm lens. An extra battery a memory card and a lens cleaning cloth.

Feedback

Keep Clicking and Keep Experimenting !! Keep following experts (not me). Keep enjoying !! :)
