Behind The Lens
Location
Fort William in Scotland, UKTime
It was about 8.30amLighting
The weather had been non stop rain the day before and was only just starting to clear on that morning, with occasional glimpses of a watery sun.Equipment
It was an hand-held Sony Ar 11 (2) with a Sony zoom lens.Inspiration
It was the old boat that provided the inspiration as it had such a wonderful, aged, wooden hull. Also, where it had been beached fitted into my concept for a Scottish landscape image.Editing
Yes, it has been boosted with a bit of work in Photoshop and Smart Editor software to add a more dramatic early morning sun and also to bring more detail to the wood of the boats hull.In my camera bag
All Sony gear. Sony 85mm lens, Sony 200-400mm and wide angle zoom as well as the longer zoom mentioned above.Feedback
I spent quite some time walking around the boat looking through the viewfinder to see how I could best show the boat against the dramatic Scottish landscape. When I had decided what I wanted, I tried different angles, an varied how high I was staning, ie, from a crouching position up to full height and a few in between!
