Behind The Lens
Location
On our weekly visit to Kew Gardens we saw this heron sitting on a bench close to the lake, just to one side of Syon View, as immortalised by Bill Brandt.Time
As we normally arrive at the lake mid morning the heron was clearly having his ‘coffee break’.Lighting
It was a bright morning and light caught the eye.Equipment
Canon 7Dmk11 and a 70-200mm lens (my normal walking about kit)Inspiration
The slightly startled expression and quiff produced a comical image of a heronEditing
Some basic processing in Lightroom and a polish in Snapseed on my iPad.In my camera bag

Patience and keeping your eyes open, being lucky
