Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in Sao Paulo, Brazil during one of my explorations of the parks around the city

Time

Was a great afternoon; I took a few hours break to explore the suburbs of the city with my backpack loaded with photo equipment. What s first attracted me was the flowers on this tree and when I was aiming at the flower to get the best angle, the yellow bird came it and started tu suck the nectar at of this bright flower

Lighting

It was a very sunny day and my goal was to avoid the sunlight aiming directly into my lens to avoid bokeh factors ; I could get that shot only in a specific angle where the light was not diminishing the contract and details on that shot

Equipment

I used my light weight Nikon D3000 that I usually use when I go hiking or climbing for long hours (versus my Nikon D750 that is heavier to carry on long ventures) along with a telephoto Nikkor lens 70/200mm. This tree was high so needed to be study when taking the shot ; a slight movement would have reduced the details in that shot.

Inspiration

I am traveling the world since age 3, whether for work purposes or living in foreign countries. When I land in any country, my main goal is to capture the essence of the country I am in, grasp Mother Nature hard work in its most little details ; I am a nature freak and was lucky enough to grow up far from civilizations, living with tribes or remote communities around the world. Brazil was on my bucket list and was finally there to capture the moment.

Editing

Animal photography requires a bit of clean up, mostly in noise reduction and contrast update. That was the treatment for this shot.

In my camera bag

When traveling abroad, I carry about anything that could be of use in an impromptu situation. Therefore, at least 2 camera boxes (a light weight body like a Nikon D3000/3100/3200 and a full frame with my D750; my next buy will be a mirrorless body like the Nikon Z7), a couple of lenses (18/55, 70/300, fishEye, Macro), flash, tripod, monopod, tons of memory and extra batteries/chargers, cleaning supply for lenses, flash drive, solar panel for charging batteries, flashlight, headlight, a harness to carry equipment along with the bag usually

Feedback

I have one advice with animal photography: patience and more patience ; it is a lot of standing, crunching, body balance, sometimes in very awkward and not comfortable positions to get the right angle and the right shot at the right time ; were comfortable and loose clothes, good shoes, drink a lot of water if you are under the sun, avoid perfumes and strong scents that could alert the animals and put your camera on silent ;-) It s a lot of steps and contraints to go through but it is worth the result of a perfect shot!
