A beautiful sunrise over a beaver pond

On a wonderful wildlife tour through this beautiful glen, nowhere near the main Glenshee. I managed to happen upon the hyperfocal distance too!

I found these beautiful reflections on the Findhorn bay. Not long exposure

I finally managed to take a photo of a bee while its 'tongue' was visible

This was my first photo I have taken where I had a strong idea of what I wanted. Looking up at this supernatural creature.

These sunbeams and layers of mountains asked to be photographed. Significant colour channel editing

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken while on a walk with friends in a local woodland.

Time

In the middle of the day.

Lighting

Equipment

Second hand Canon Powershot G15

Editing

Dodging and burning to darken the background

In my camera bag

Canon Powershot G15, and occasionally an old, cheap tripod, small LED panel for macro
