Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in a city park full of ponds, and as you might suppose, full of birds.

Time

Middle of the sunny day, the light was harsh, but i was able shoot it on high shutter speed, to catch moving swan.

Lighting

Harsh light in full sun it was hard to get proper soft light, but i could shoot it on high shutter speed.

Equipment

Shot on Canon EOS 100D Aperture f/2.5?ISO 100?Shutter 1/800?Focal Length 50/1

Inspiration

Never saw black swan in nature live.

Editing

It was idea to make the beak of the swan stand out of the picture, that's why I removed saturation of most of the color, leaving just shades of red. Some changes with highlights and shadows.

In my camera bag

Now it's something new, I have now Canon RP. Beside that usually I'm taking all batteries I have, additional card. Sometimes it depends on the day I'm just taking one lens, sometimes few lenses.

Feedback

Nothing special, I'm not specialist in photographing animals. I think is as always You have to take camera with you. :)
