Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at home . I own 320 acres of land so there is plenty of opportunity to capture some great shots.

Time

It had been very hot and the humidity had been building up all day . I could hear the thunder in the distance so got my camera ready.

Lighting

It was night time.

Equipment

My first digital camera was a Nikon coolpix P510. Referred to as a point and shoot camera. Great camera which was used to take this shot. I still have this camera. I very seldom use it nowadays . I now own 2 Nikon D3200 cameras. 1 is set up with the kit lens 18 - 55 mm and the other has a Tamron 18 - 270 mm.

Inspiration

I have always loved the way lightening lights up the whole sky on a black night. I had it set on burst mode and it took me a lot of shots to come away with 1 decent shot. It is really worth the time to capture this moment.

Editing

The only thing i changed with this shot was a little colour. I have only just starting using Adobe Lightroom . I am slowly finding my way around it.

In my camera bag

Camera, lens,extra batteries and battery charger and sd cards.

Feedback

one word.......Patience.
