Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken late morning on the West Coast of South Africa during a photographic trip

Time

It was taken in the morning and i used a polariser filter to help with the very bright African sun

Lighting

The light was very bright but that helped to capture the fast moving wings in flight

Equipment

I use a Canon body and a Canon 100-400 lens for this photo

Inspiration

Just the beauty of the birds in yellow with blue eyes are the inspiration to go back to the bird island to capture the photos.

Editing

I use Photoshop to do post-processing of all my photos.. no photos leave without my drive being properly edited.

In my camera bag

I use Canon, Sigma, Godox and Manfrotto equipment

Feedback

Always take photos.. Never stop taking photos coz the more photos you take the more you will learn your camera settings and composition .. Look and learn from others ..
