It was only after I had enlarged this picture when I realized this beautiful horse was actually glancing toward me taking her photo. She did not miss

Finally a clear day. and my chance to take a couple of photos in the back country. Either it was foggy when I had a day off or I was working. Hope

The Aryansh volcano erupted approx. 270 years ago in Northern British Columbia Canada. The lava beds run 22.5k (31mil) with depths up to 12k (39ft).

Found in the back country in British Columbia. I wish I could express my feeling when I found this Barn. I hope to have captured a bit of it in this

This photo was taken while walking in the back country during spring run off. Now it would be a trickle. I was lucky to capture this moment.

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Round Lake, BC.

Time

I'd been camping at Round Lake for a few days, and noticed the abundance of beautiful dragon flies. This particular dragon fly kept coming by the spot I was sitting. I had my Nikon camera by my side and decided it would be amazing and challenging to capture a dragon fly in flight.

Lighting

It was a perfect day for lighting with slight cloud coverage.

Equipment

I am a hobbyist, armature photographer and do not have a lot of equipment. I used my Nikon D3300 with a Nikon Nikkor ar 70-300 mm lens. (yes, outdated as some may feel, but I love my camera and lens.)

Inspiration

The beauty of the dragon fly as well as the challenge to capture it in flight, especially, with the unpredictable flight patterns.

Editing

Not very much post-processing was done. I cropped the photo a bit , a bit of toning and sharping.

In my camera bag

As mentioned I am an armature , hobbyist photographer, I have my D3300 Nikon camera, the Nikon af Nikkor 70-300 mm lens , wide angle lens. and a few filters.

Feedback

Patience. I used the repeat, shutter, and experimented with the speed and aperture in manual mode.
