Behind The Lens

Location

I took this shot while visiting Richmond, Virginia's Maymount park. An historical park that has a Japanese pond garden. There is also waterfall for cooling off when its warm and animals in a zoo like atmosphere. ( Bears, Camels, Birds of pray, etc.)

Time

It was June around 3:30 pm or 4pm.

Lighting

Sunny with some clouds. very warm and clear day. slight winds.

Equipment

I used a Canon Digital Rebel XTi with a Tamron 18-270mm lense. No flash or tripod was used.

Inspiration

Its very rare that the bald eagle appears. one has to travel to photograph them. The eagles at Maymount P ark are injured and cared for, then returned to their natural elements.

Editing

I cropped the original, Simple shadow slider, and sharpened with a slight saturation.

In my camera bag

I don't carry a bag. All of my camera's are held across my chest and hips. ( Cotton Carrier)

Feedback

my only advise would be to scout out locations and get out there and shoot it and shoot what's in it.
