Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at a farm called Hofstaðir in Helgafellsveit west side of Iceland, near the town Stykkishólmur.

Time

daytime,, sunny day

Lighting

this photo is taken at 24mm so you can see that this was a close one,, and this bird was not happy they thought that I was after there baby birds that were not ready to fly

Equipment

Nikon D300 Nikkor 17-55 f/2,8

Inspiration

I have always loved these birds,, they are small but agressive in defending there youngs,, and eggs

Editing

no,, just litle bit with light and colors..

In my camera bag

Now my equipment has changed a lot,, to day it is Nikon D800 AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G AF-S NIKKOR 85mm f/1.8G

Feedback

keep calm, and ready to jump to the ground,, it is not good if these birds hit your hed,,
