Amazing shot

Spet 3 days in a hide near a lake with trout in it near Aviemore recently. Plenty of Ospreys about circling over, but only got 5 dives, amazing sight

Spent a few early mornings in a field with these hares in Feb-March. Pleased with the lighting on this one.

Beautiful Swallowtail Butterflys visit Norfolk in June for a short while. Was lucky with the light on the day I went to catch sight of them.

A Juvenile male I came across in Norfolk.

One of my favourite subjects, this young male had just dived in and missed a fish. I like the water on its feathers in nice morning light.

Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken in my garage at home, with my daughter sat behind plexiglass to look like a window.

Time

It took a while to set everything up, so around midday.

Lighting

I used a fresnel light about 2.5 M off the ground pointing down a bit like a street light.

Equipment

Canon 1DX with a 50mm lens, 1/125 shutter, F7.1 800 iso, using a tripod. Then plexiglass on a workbench, and some books to add atmosphere.

Inspiration

I saw a youtube video using plexiglass and water, so thought I would try and get a shot that conveyed a story.

Editing

Yes in Photoshop, i overlaid a layer using 'screen' blending mode of a cityscape i had photographed a while ago, to look like a reflection.

In my camera bag

For wildlife I have Canon 1DX 3 with a 500mm F4 lens and 1.4 converter. In the studio now i use an EOS R mirrorless and 50mm and 24-105 lenses. Always make sure i have a remote release, and a speed light and triggers just in case!

Feedback

Take time to get the angle of the light correct to just light the important parts. Can use some glycerine in the water to make the droplets look better, and then just play about with your shooting angle and position.
