Behind The Lens

Location

I took this in a garden in the west of Scotland. It was a misty, foggy day and as we walked around this little Robin followed us. I took about 20 photos, but this one was my favourite.

Time

It was mid morning.

Lighting

It was overcast and misty so there was no direct light.

Equipment

I used a Canon 700D with a 18-55mml lens. I nearly always shoot in Manual but switched to Auto as the Robin was flitting about, but when I realised it was going to stay still on that branch I switched back to Manual and got 3 or 4 great photos.

Inspiration

I love Robins and the way this bird hung about us so closely, it was a no brainer to snap away.

Editing

Nothing but a slight crop.

In my camera bag

My Canon 700D, a 50mm lens, a 18-55mm lens and a spare battery.

Feedback

I think for this one it was to garb the opportunity, get as close to the subject as I could and take lots of photos with different settings.
