Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo just outside the Opera House, Sydney.

Time

It was at lunchtime around 2:00 pm on a bright sunny day.

Lighting

Actually lighting is the key thing in photos. Light adds aroma in your photos.

Equipment

The photo was taken by Nikon D5300, with NIKKOR AF-S 55-300 mm.

Inspiration

I was out to enjoy my weekend and was carrying my camera bag. I was trying to capture sea view along with Harbour Bridge while having lunch at opera bar, circular quay but the flock of seagulls arrived and caught my attention so I tried to capture them but this lone bird caught my attention and was waiting to be captured inside the lens of my camera giving a big yawn.

Editing

Yes I did, Normally I use Adobe Lightroom for editing saturation exposure and temp of the photo.

In my camera bag

I usually carry Nikon D5300, with AF-S NIKKOR 55-300mm lens, Sigma 24mm 1.4 prime lens, Tamron 90mm F2.8 1:1 MACRO lens, Yongnuo's Speedlite YN560 IV Flash, Adjustable Manfrotto tripod stand, extra SD-Card and couple of batteries.

Feedback

Sydney is a great surrounding to shoot these types of birds photos as they are not scared of people around them and it's quite possible to get the perfect spectacular photos. You have to be well equipped with you bag with all the equipments due to the varying weather and fast flowing clouds up in the sky.
