Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Tollcross park in Glasgow while out walking.

Time

I was out around 6pm taking a stroll photographing flowers which is what I normally do when I spotted this squirrel. Normally they run away from me but this guy stopped to give a few cheeky poses, he was very inquisitive.

Lighting

The sun was just setting and gave the squirrel a nice glow to highlight his back. It was one of my 'lucky shots' which doesn't happen very often.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon6D with a 24-105mm lens and was shot handheld.

Inspiration

I normally photograph flowers or static objects but had been practising with seagulls and seeing this little guy and his bold nature made me want to play around and try something new.

Editing

I did no editing on this photograph

In my camera bag

I always have my canon 6D for photography with my 24/105mm lens as it is also capable of some lovely macro shots. I have a variety of lenses but this one is my must have. I always take my manfrotto travel tripod.

Feedback

Make sure you have set your shutter speed correctly when photographing animals as they are prone to moving. Also use your focus wisely.
