Behind The Lens
Location
During lockdown I have been focusing on what i can see close to my flat in West London. This is new growth close to Thames Lock where the Grand Union Canal joins the Thames.Time
Late afternoon - on a walk after working from home.Lighting
Used the afternoon light and shot at 90degrees to the sun.Equipment
Canon 7D mk2Inspiration
At a time of uncertainty and fear the optimism exemplified by the new growth was an antidote to the malaise engendered by the UK government response to Covid-19.Editing
Minimal post processing - I like to get the image in camera as far as possible.In my camera bag
Ofter just walk out with my camera and single lens then tailor my shooting to what works with the kit I have to hand. Each day i go out I try to look for different things using what I have with me.Feedback
