Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken early one morning while I was out walking and watching for wildlife. I live across the street from this park and I walk here often.Time
My favorite time of the day to walk about with my camera, first thing in the morning, before other people are in the park.Lighting
It was a very grey morning. We had received a touch of early spring snow during the night and the air and water were completely still.Equipment
I shot this photo with my Canon 6DMII and my Canon 100-400ii lens, hand held.Inspiration
I love the silence and peace this scene portrays, while, at the same time, the empty bench awaits visitors.Editing
Minimal post processing in LightroomIn my camera bag
I generally pack a variety of lenses - a Helios 44-2, a Canon 100mm macro, a Lensbaby Velvet 85 and a Canon 100-400ii. That combination covers anything I may encounter.Feedback
Return on multiple visits, various times of the day to a spot which catches your eye. The scene will always be different.
