Behind The Lens

Location

A trip to Kings Canyon National park as part of a 40th birthday Roadtrip in California.

Time

Lunch time walk around General Sherman tree and found this beetle.

Lighting

Natural lighting with dappled shade from the midday sun

Equipment

Nikon D80 with standard 35mm lens.

Inspiration

It was a baking hot day, and clearly in the open sat on a fence post was the long horned beetle. We queried it in the parks office but they couldn’t find it in the leaflets.

Editing

Straight from the camera.

In my camera bag

Very little. I usually armed with an IPhone 8plus.

Feedback

Be spontaneous and just shoot what you see. The benefits of digital photos is you can see what you’ve taken and keep trying and fleeting those that weren’t quite so good!
