Location
Picture taken on Bass Rock, off the eastern coast of ScotlandTime
Late morning shooting during unstable wether.Lighting
Great lighting from dark clouds and sunshine to shoot white birds nesting on a cliff!Equipment
I shot this picture with a Canon EOS 7D mounted with a Canon EF 24-70mm F4 IS zoomInspiration
I wanted to give a sense of perspective and size of the bird colony (75,000 pairs!!!) that covers the entire island and the thousands taht fly above. Light was perfect at that very moment for a wide angle shot.Editing
Minor post processing to bring some more detail in the whites and slight saturationIn my camera bag
Canon bodies (1D MKIV, 5DSR and 7DMKII) and lenses (500mm F4 IS II; 70-200 2.8 IS II; 24-70 F4 IS).Feedback
Just spend as much time as possible in the field to get great photo opportunities!
