Behind The Lens

Location

Taken at the Avalon Airshow in 2013, we’d been in Melbourne on Holiday and had a free day so decided to check out the Airshow.

Time

Middle of the day sometime I think, it was a gorgeous sunny day with very little cloud.

Lighting

Nothing out of the ordinary, probably lucky that the sun wasn’t too harsh.

Equipment

Canon 60D is my SLR camera with an L series 70-300 mm zoom lens.

Inspiration

I’ve always liked different modes of transport especially trains and planes. The Connie (Lockheed Constellation) is a hark back to a bygone era of international flight as well.

Editing

Maybe fiddled with the contrast and highlights a bit.

In my camera bag

The 60D, Canon 50mm lens, Tamron 17-55mm lens and a Canon L Series 70-300mm Zoom Lens.

Feedback

Take a chance on something like a big Airshow with modern and vintage planes. This shot was a bit of luck being in the right spot at the right time.
