Behind The Lens

Location

I was in Urquhart Bay near Urquhart Castle on Loch Ness Scotland

Time

It was early evening in August

Lighting

The sun had just gone down below the hills, giving a wonderful sky, but giving enough light to give the silhouette

Equipment

I used a Canon EOS 600D with a Canon 18-55mm lens

Inspiration

With the tree in silhouette, with the sky the right colour, I wanted to try and get the calm after the stormy winds earlier that day

Editing

No

In my camera bag

I normally carry a Canon EOS60OD with a Canon 18-55mm lens, a Canon 80-200mm lens and a Tamron 70-300mm lens

Feedback

Always keep a eye on the sky, look where the sun is going and just wait for the right moment to take that photo. Look for something large to get a good silhouette, in my youth I managed to get a similar picture with a hot air balloon, it was on a film camera and I’m trying to find it so I can share it
