Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at Penshaw Monument, a folly near Sunderland, North East England

Time

Taken about mid morning

Lighting

Natural light on a bright but slightly overcast day

Equipment

Nikon D3x, Tokina 28-80, hand held. No tripod no flash.

Inspiration

I was out with my granddaughter taking shots for her college portfolio and we were just packing up when a father and son arrived and sat down between the pillars to give a great opportunity for the shot.

Editing

Post processing was using Paint Shop Pro, slight increase in sharpening and changing to Black and White

In my camera bag

Always carry my main camera, Nikon D3x with Tokina 28-80 2.8, Tamron 18-270, 3.5-6.3, a Fuji X10, Nikon1, J2, spare batteries and a tripod.

Feedback

This image was really a shot on the move, taken before they changed position. one of those opportunities that pop up now and again and you take a shot hoping it turns out to be what you hoped. A lucky shot really.
