Taken in Port Louis Mauritius off one of the old streets...

Went on a dawn walk through a local forest, really loved the trees and path in this photo

I took this picture of a very inquisitive squirrel as I was walking back home from the beach doing an early morning shoot down on the beach.

I was at the Olympic Sailing event in Weymouth, UK and spotted this man in a side street sketching. I love the the colorful houses

Behind The Lens

Location

This was actually taken at the Bournemouth Airshow, there was a presentation of by a Owl and Raptor conservation trust.

Time

It was the middle of the or late morning, before the Airshow started.

Lighting

There was anything special about the light, it was cloudy and dull, but actually that made it perfect for picking up the colour detail on the owl.

Equipment

Just my Canon 450D with a Canon EF-S 55 - 250mm lens 4-5.6 IS

Inspiration

It was the birds that inspired me. I took quite a few photos of these owls and raptors considering I was there to actually photograph aeroplanes

Editing

Not much. Did some saturation and colour adjustments as it almost perfect straight out of the camera.

In my camera bag

I've now upgraded to a Canon 750D, I usually have my 55-250mm and 18-55mm kit lens in my bag. I usually have a tripod or two. Acouple of filters (mostly polariser and ND). Plenty of spare batteries.

Feedback

I've learnt so much since this photo, but if anything I can advise is get as close as possible to your subject.
