Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the small pond in Al Qudra lake Dubai U.A.E.

Time

Taken at 6:36 in the morning after landscape photography in Al Garhood bridge of Dubai.

Lighting

Ambient light is my favorite for outdoor at early morning or late afternoon. this was taken while the son is just coming out.

Equipment

this was taken handheld using Nikon D810 with 200-500mm lens at 500mm, ISO 1000 f5.6 at 1/1000 shutter speed without flash.

Inspiration

While seeking for an interesting subject, I spotted this creatures who is hoping to find food for early morning breakfast. I am an animal lover mostly on birds, upon discovering this small creature it inspires me to snap this photo due to its tiny feather and attractive yellow color.

Editing

From raw using lightroom, I cropped the image, with basic adjustment then converted to jpeg.

In my camera bag

I always bring two cameras My Nikon D810 always and paired with Nikon Df or D500. with the Nikon trinity lenses 14-24mm f2.8, 24-70mm f2.8, 70-200mm and 200-500mm f5.6. always with a spare battery, memory cards, set of ND filters, polarizing filter and a flash. bulky but bringing all this ensures me that I will not miss the required equipment for any subject that come along my way while shooting.

Feedback

Hunting birds or animals like this is usually done better during early morning while they are mostly active looking for their food, practice your focusing skills to get a sharp image because in wildlife details in the image is very essential to produce a nice moving photograph.
