Behind The Lens

Location

I was out walking with my wife and we just arrived at a road with a field on the other side. We crossed over as I noticed a Buzzard overhead. When we got in the field the cat was jumping around after mice. My wife loves cats so I took some photos for her.

Time

This was early afternoon as we were on our way back from a long walk and we were both hungry!

Lighting

It was a lovely sunny day and the light seemed perfect.

Equipment

I use a Nikon D300 and think at the time I had my favourite lens-70-300mm.

Inspiration

My wife really as she is the cat lover.

Editing

Nothing was done to the photo- its straight out the camera. I never use anything on any photo I have ever taken.

In my camera bag

I only use a Nikin D300 with my now 80-400mm lens

Feedback

Be prepared to take photos of animals you dont always like!
