the crisp frame that gifted me with couple of recognition.Cruising it's way where it belong's to.This freedom belongs to its blood,but it does fade away once its out of sight from family.life can reflect back to this as we keep fading by from our parental touch and turning out for personal ambition.

A click to cherish as i kept waiting for a moment to reflect back our daily life and how it in turn value us what we are missing.

Behind The Lens

Location

It was captured from Ranganathittuh Bird Sanctuary ,Mysore,Karnataka- India

Time

It was taken during mid noon.had taken my seat on the ground under hot sun next to the lake where all migratory birds roamed around.

Lighting

The lighting has a major role to offer,as it had to be synched with both fore & back grounds.the sun was quite harsh at that time,which made me to bump up the shutter and control the freeze action lively.

Equipment

Canon 7D Canon 100-400mm L USM Hand Held Shot.

Inspiration

I had this frozen frame in my head since i started enjoy the complete passion in birding.this particular shot is one of the best from the series which had almost 40-50 shots under single shoot mode.I dint use burst mode as i felt it would make the task more easier and when its about photography,creating something from the least option would give you more satisfaction.as a mater of patience and mind control i sat at one single spot for hours and finally managed to pull over this shot where the pelican touched the water surface to catch its prey and left back drips of water by.

Editing

Yes ,basic color corrections on the contrast and brightness.but most important its the color profile (picture style) i used in my camera.i had set it to neutral mode where all the color channels has a zero value,that no colours are being added to the camera by the device itself.so that gave me a plus to create such a balancing profile.

In my camera bag

In my bag, i would have my current beast Canon 7D MII along with the gorgeous prime sigma 17-55mm f2.8 and the ultra wide Canon 10-18mm.Lens cleaner of course,a laptop to do immediate transfer,manfrotto monopod,extra battery etc.

Feedback

For something similar ,patience followed by passion is all what you need to achieve something desiring always,the gear you use comes next.Of course gears does mater to some extent in wild life,but the serious effort and practise behind the lens is what gives you great frame when it comes to photography.Na days burst mode makes things easier,but my wise advice for practice purpose use single shoot mode and pull the trigger when you feel is the right moment to close the image sensor curtain.practise makes you perfect .keep shooting. Technically : Mode : Manual Mode Shutter : Use fast shutter ,probably above 1/1000sec based on the lighting Aperture : Open wide ISO : 100-400 based on lighting again. Picture Style : Nuetral Color Temperature : Depending on your creativity.
