Behind The Lens
Location
A falconry and bird display came to the island where I live - the owner saw me standing wishing I could me closer and that I was calm and quiet and invited me into his enclosure to meet his beloved birds and take some photos.Time
This was taken mid afternoon.Lighting
It was mid afternoon with some dappled lighting coming through the trees above which helped to light the scene but avoid shadows.Equipment
Canon 6D with 50mm lens - no flash or tripod or anything elseInspiration
I absolutely love birds and animals and wish I could do this everyday. I hope to show the world that animal lives matter.Editing
Yes a little improvement in levels and curvesIn my camera bag
I try to travel as light as possible - if I am heading to somewhere where different lenses and conditions might be suitable - I take a backpack which even includes some fairy lights for forest scenes and a little spray bottle in case some water droplets might look good on some flowers or grasses.Feedback
Stop and take time to know your subject and imagine the best angles etc.
