Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo on the side of a country road on a windy day. He was jumping in and out of the blackberry bushes just singing his song.Time
It was around 9:00am before it got above 80F and was too hot for them to be out and active.Lighting
It was a partly cloudy day with the wind blowing patchy clouds across sky.Equipment
I using a Nikon D5300 camera and a Tamron lens that is 150mm-600mm and was on 600mm. And was using the edge of my truck door to stabilize my camera for a relaxing photo.Inspiration
The Painted Bunting with his beautiful colors are the reason I took his photo.Editing
For all photos I shoot in raw format and I only adjust sharpness and noise reduction and crop just a little if needed.In my camera bag
I carry the full load, I have a Nikon D3200 body with a 10mm-20mm wide angle lens, I have a Nikon D5000 with a 35-50mm lens I have the D5300 with the 55-150mm lens and the Tamron 150-600mm. The D5300 has been retired because the shutter broke and has been replaced with 2 Nikon D7200 and a Tripod extra batteries for all bodies and extra cards and a cleaning kit.Feedback
Just keep your eyes out on road side blackberry bushes and stop if you can and have a little patience.
