Behind The Lens

Location

I took this Photo when i was at my holiday last year on Fuerteventura/Spain at a birds of prey show we were sitting on chairs with a small hill in our backs and the ocean and a small arena in front of us

Time

It was at 11am and it was already very hot outside

Lighting

i used only natural light which was very harsh at this time of the day

Equipment

i used my Canon 70-200mm F4 USM L and my old Eos 60D without a tripod or anything else

Inspiration

i wanted to get a picture of this bird in Profil like a kind of symbol and so i waited till the Bird turned his head (he was sitting on the arm of his owner)

Editing

i darkend the rest of the Image in Lightroom 4 till i get the kind of result i wanted to get. and after that i did a little bit of sharpening. it was my second try with this kind of processing

In my camera bag

i allways got my Sigma 35mm F1.4 Art and my Tamron 24-70mm F2.8 and also my 70-200mm or the canon 135mm f2. For each of these lenses i own a CPL.

Feedback

try to avoid shooting at noon:)
