Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken along The Water of Leith in Edinburgh. Thanks to the Water of Leith Conservation Trust the wildlife has had a chance to recover from urbanisation

Time

This would have been on one of my afternoon walks along this lovely stretch of river in the middle of the city

Lighting

Natural daylight only. Not a lot to work with through the trees but that is something that can add so much mood

Equipment

This was shot on a canon 550d and 75-300mm handheld

Inspiration

I love seeing wildlife on the river. You never know if you are going to see anything at all or if you do, for how long

Editing

Not too much post processing involved. Developing the raw, bringing up the shadows and putting it into the correct colour space

In my camera bag

Nowadays A sony a7iii, sigma 24-70

Feedback

Go for a walk see what you can see! Every day is different
