Behind The Lens

Location

Ilfracombe harbour, in North Devon. Just beneath the utterly hideous Verity. So if you go there - just ignore the modern "art" & look for birds & seals instead.

Time

Around midday in late January. Not an ideal time to take photos - but that's when I was there ...

Lighting

Not really, the sun normally does all that bit ...

Equipment

Shot with a Cannon Eos 1300D, 58mm lens, no add on required.

Inspiration

A love of birds & I always enjoy visiting the West Country.

Editing

Very little. I think the contrast was turned down a bit but that was about it.

In my camera bag

Camera, bag for camera & a spare lens cap ...

Feedback

Patience. Most birds fly away before a photo can be taken. Swans love to pose but mostly birds don't. I do add a lens sometimes for extra focus - but this gull wanted to be photographed. I was happy to oblige ...
