Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken whilst on a walk with my dog through a local country park

Time

It was taken late morning on a summers day which was fairly overcast.

Lighting

It was a chance sighting of the Jay. Although my camera was primed for such a shot I did not have time to do any manual settings.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D3500 with a 18mm - 55mm lens. I now also photograph with a Nikon Z50 and also use a telephoto 70mm - 300mm lens fitted to an FTZ adapter.

Inspiration

It was my love of photographing birds, the opportunity and the fact I had not seen a Jay so close for photographing.

Editing

As it was an 18mm -55m lens I enlarged the photo a little making it bigger but nothing done to the colouring.

In my camera bag

I am only an amateur and always carry the two aforementioned cameras plus my flash gun and accessories for cleaning.

Feedback

Be aware of what's going on around you. Often it's a split second chance to get a shot like this and you have to be prepared.
