A trip through Snowdonia led me to this awesome location! Just loved the amount of natural beauty

In the right place at the right time!!

Sunset reflections

A little stop off at a local country park and found the ducks were ready for their close up!!

Couldn’t get out to shoot but I saw the beautiful angle of this wonderful flower in the kitchen thus proving there is many angles to be shot in the

Stop!

So impressed with how this turned out. A random visit to a fireworks display and funfair produced such great shots.

Behind The Lens

Location

A small patch of waste land behind my house where there was a lovely buddleia in full blossom and it attracted some beautiful butterflies.

Time

Mid afternoon approximately

Lighting

I think you can find beauty in the most awful places you just have to look a bit more. You may just find your diamond in the rough

Equipment

Canon powershot bridge camera. This was taken before I upgraded to a DSLR

Inspiration

I couldn't miss this opportunity, the colours blended so well together, even the blue recycling bin behind it looked just right!!

Editing

Small amount of editing in photoshop express

In my camera bag

I now carry my canon 4000d with standard kit lens, 50mm, and 70-300mm. I have my trusty tripod too.

Feedback

Look in the most obscure places and find some beauty among the rough
