Location
This was taken in the Lake District UK while we were away celebrating my husbands 40th, it was one of the coldest winters we have had for a long time. His birthday is 22/12 so it was very close to Xmas.Time
We were out for lunch and decided to have a walk before we ate. This little chap had followed us all the way round the Lake so there was good opportunity to take some pictures of him,it was about 1pmLighting
I wanted the background to reflect the redness of his chest against the cool crisp of the branches, the red just made him pop off the branch.Equipment
I used a Sony alpha no Tripod no gadgets just plain straight shooting. This shot is what made me pursue photography as a hobby and upgrade my kit.Inspiration
The sheer beauty of the surroundings and the sweet nature of this little chap made me want to get a really good close up of him/herEditing
I didn’t really understand processing at the time just cropped it slightly my skills are now improving with regards to thisIn my camera bag
Now I carry two lenses, two batteries, a couple of filters, I keep it very simple.Feedback
Just go for it, take a few shots in different lights and at different angles the magic happens when you least expect it, keep working and the improvements will come
