Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken in Oxforshire , England

Time

If I remember rightly it was in the morning

Lighting

All birds should be respected in photography , remember it is a privilege to see and photograph them if they grace you with their presence

Equipment

Canon 1DX, 300mm f2.8 and a 1.4x

Inspiration

I just love all birds so any opportunity I get I do ;-)

Editing

yes but in this case it is pretty much straight out of the camera with a little crop

In my camera bag

Canon 1DX canon 1d Mk4 , ^00mm F4 and 14-105mm

Feedback

learn good field craft and be patient and quiet, nature will reward you for your patience
