Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my garden. I was watching this hover fly for a while and took several photo's of it hoovering but as I took this one it started to rub its legs as if it was cleaning them. I have just had my camera for around a week when I took this shot.

Time

I took it in the morning around 10am it was a sunny day .

Lighting

I didn't have any effects on the lightening as I just had the camera for a week so had it in sports mode due to my lack of experience .

Equipment

My camera is a Canon 90d it has a EF-A 18-135mms IS USM llense and it was hand held.

Inspiration

I am fascinated with insects in flight, there colours and the challenge to get a great photo.

Editing

I done a little cropping just to zoom in on the hornet.

In my camera bag

In My bag I've got my Canon 90d, my lenses 18-135mm , I have my old 75-300mm 1:4-5.6 zoom lens and my old Speedlite 550EX. I also have a K&F Concept tripod.

Feedback

Just have patience and a good eye and also a bit of good luck. I can't give any advice as I'm a novice myself.
