Behind The Lens

Location

the picture was taken in bridgnorth uk. The train is part of the Severn Valley Railway.

Time

Was taken late afternoon just after 5pm. It's very rare i use a tripod. Majority of my photo's are hand held.

Lighting

Was a nice sunny day in november. There was a lot of tree's and bushes. But i seem to of been in a good spot with good natural light.

Equipment

There was no tripod i take mostly hand held shots. My camera is a Nikon D7000. The lens i was using is a Tamron 18-270mm. Shot at ISO 160, shutter 1/160 sec, F/ 4.5, at 46mm.

Inspiration

Was out getting landscape shot's. This came along so i took the chance. Just thought would make a nice picture. Guess i was in the right place at the right time.

Editing

Yes i normally only crop the image to bring the subject closer. Vary rare i do more than this. I use lightroom classic.

In my camera bag

My bag dosen't consist of a lot. Standard is my D7000 with my Tamron 18-400mm lens already attached. Upgraded lens from the Tamron 18-270mm. A cleaning cloth for the lens. A microfibre cloth for cleaning and drying the camera and outer body of lens if i need to. Plus 2 spare memory cards which as of yet not needed as the camera uses 2 memory cards. A notebook and a pen.

Feedback

Simple you see something you like take the picture. If it works out for you brilliant. If it don't just keep trying never give up. I never spend ages looking for ideal place to take shots. I just walk around till i see something i like. Then i take the shot. Check it if looks ok then i'll move on if not i'll change settings how i think i need to then try again. But i never quit. I'm no professional i'm just a complete amature. I learn as i go, never took any photography lessons. Plenty of information online free of charge.
