Both are really outstanding, H, but I think I prefer the first one . . . the more "blue" image.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in woodlands near a place called Guadalhorce, Malaga, Spain.

Time

It was about 10am in the morning.

Lighting

The lighting was great, soft, but rays of light coming through the trees, picking out the brighter colours!

Equipment

I just had my D5200 Nikon camera, 18-300mm Nikkor lens.

Inspiration

The lighting and colours.

Editing

I did basic post-processing...a bit of saturation and contrast adjustment.

In my camera bag

Normally I take my backpack with my Nikon camera, a 18-250mm sigma lens and my 55-300mm Nikkor lens. I also have my camera cleaning cloths etc., self timer, 4 spare batteries and not always...my tripod.

Feedback

This is a fun type of shooting! Slow shutterspeed, low ISO and movement - you can play with this technique and create some wonderful images. Lighting is important...nice to have some contrasty and complementary colours.
