Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Mattamuskeet Lake in North Carolina.

Time

This photo was taken on January 5, 2013 at l:53 pm.

Lighting

This is one of those time when nature supplied the perfect lighting. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Equipment

I used a hand held Nikon D7000 with a AF-S VRZoom-Nikkor 70-300 mm lens at a focal Length of 180 mm.

Inspiration

I am always looking for that perfect moment out in nature and this shot is one of my favorite captures.

Editing

The only post-processing I use is to sometime darken the picture a bit and crop to enhance the subject.

In my camera bag

These days I carry my Nikon D7100, My AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-300mm lens and my Sony Cyber-shot camera.

Feedback

Anyone that is trying to capture a shot like this has to be alert and patient. I watch for birds and animals in their natural habitat and patiently wait for that perfect moment. I just keep taking pictures until I get that one shot! The wonderful thing about digital pictures is one can delete all the ones that aren't the right one! LOL
