Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my garden recently. I looked across and saw him looking regal and needed to take a photo.

Time

I had just finished work and entered the garden to see my wife and new born son. Would have been around 5pm.

Lighting

Thankfully we've been getting some amazing weather in the UK and the sun was incredible. Nox had found a little shade he was cooling off in, so the brightness was managable.

Equipment

This was only taken on my phone as it was all I had at hand! It was a spur of the moment snap and my Google Pixel 6 did the job perfectly.

Inspiration

My cat was looking comfortable and so I decided to test out a different kind of shot I had seen on Pinterest. I'm glad I did as it's one of my favourites!

Editing

Usually I would edit my photos on Photoshop or GIMP but as I took the photo on my phone, I used Snapseed (very recently installed on a whim) and edited through here.

In my camera bag

Usually I'd be carrying my Nikon D3100 (a gift from a friend) with a 70-300mm lens for my sports photography.

Feedback

Honestly, just jump in and try something you like the look of. Using ViewBug has opened my eyes to so many talented people and styles so use it to inspire you as it has for me.
