Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo during the Swansea Air Show 2018

Time

It was its afternoon probably around 4pm.

Lighting

The light ring was extremely bright as it was a cloudless sky in the middle of a July heatwave. Hence the filter.

Equipment

My canon 1200 and a lot of luck!

Inspiration

I adore the Battle of Britain and I am An historian by trade so this was right up my street when I saw the memorial flight. They slowed down in order for people to take photos and I wasn’t missing my chance.

Editing

I added the sepia filter to give it more of a 1940’s feel. I did try black and white but it look too clinical. Other than a little light cropping that’s the only post production.

In my camera bag

My cannon 1200, Marco lens, normal lens, uv filter, two memory cards and portable charger.

Feedback

Just go for it. Don’t see your shot feel your shot. Take a deep breath and you’ll know when it’s right.
