Behind The Lens

Location

This image was captured at the Ogwen Valley, Outside Betws-Y-Coed. Part of Snowdonia National Park. North Wales, UK.

Time

This image was captured at a low level of the public walking track. Approx 3pm.

Lighting

As the weather was changing and sky going duller, I found that a low shot would capture the levels of natural colour changes from grass at field level to higher levels towards high cloud/fog and mist levels.

Equipment

I didn't feel the need of a flash; due to natural light balance. Also due to natural light colour of the grass displaying light naturally.

Inspiration

I was inspired to capture the shot due to its natural colours, ware of the mountain. It had changed its natural green to a deeper colour as it raised higher and seemed to look as it was cloaking the natural river and footpath there. A true natural beauty!

Editing

No.

In my camera bag

I usually have my Nikon D5500 camera with 15-55mm lens and also my Kodak pixpro Bridge camera of which takes great long shots.

Feedback

Basically move about before taking the shot as each angle has different levels of natural light. So try to keep it natural if possible, especially when its landscapes.
