Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was take in the National Park Îles de Boucherville near of Montréal, Québec. most of the time I use a app. for looking the bird I want to shot.

Time

It was late afternoon, during a light snow fall. She was sitting just like that, clear for the shot.

Lighting

This is all natural light, so I had to adjust my setting and push my iso to have a nice shot.

Equipment

I use Canon MarkIV, 500mm + extender 1.4 and my tripod, no flash involved.

Inspiration

I love capture bird during winter and during a snow fall or after the snow, give a nice finish for the picture.

Editing

I use Lightroom for the post-processing, I adjust the lighting and sharping, just a bit of saturation.

In my camera bag

Its all depend of what kind of bird I looking for, most of the time I cary my 500mm F4 or my 300mm F4 in a huge bag :)

Feedback

To be prepare, patient and know well your gear to be ready, I shot all the time in manuel and raw, so get ready to adjust the most important triangle = ISO, aperture and shutter speed, to do less post-processing after.
