Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Leeds Castle grounds in Kent.

Time

This was taken late afternoon, as the sun was beginning to wain, but enough light to keep the ISO in the sweet spot.

Lighting

As above

Equipment

This was handheld, with a 300mm Cameron 5.6 Lens with a Canon 350D. Cheap kit but jcie results

Inspiration

Who could not love that face?

Editing

Yes post processing simply was a layer and mask, to desaturate all but the eyes.

In my camera bag

24-70 lens, 100-300 lens, tripod, monopod, cleaning wipes, snacks and weather gear.

Feedback

Be patient, be quiet, watch the behaviour of your chosen subject for a long time before you shoot, even if you miss the opportunity first time around.
