Location

In my home

Time

In the evening

Lighting

The lighting was quite difficult, as I only had the downlights on the ceiling, and thought if I went to get extra lighting the moment may have passed.

Equipment

Sony Alpha 77 with zoom lense, no time to get tripod

Inspiration

It was amazing site, on the ceiling. I thought they must have not long hatched, and I was moved by nature, once again.

Editing

The only processing was cropping and adjusting shadows, as at the time, I had very limited experience in editing.

In my camera bag

Zoom lense, wide angle lense, portrait lense, tripod, lense filter, spare batteries, lense clean.

Feedback

Try and get some extra lighting to bring out more definition.
