Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in Midland, MI at Chippewa Nature Center (http://chippewanaturecenter.org/) during a hawk release program with the Wildlife Recovery Association (http://www.wildliferecovery.org/#About).Time
The hawk release was around noon that day.Lighting
It was an overcast day.Equipment
I used a Nikon D5000 with the 18-55 Nikkor lens. No flash, no tripod.Inspiration
You see birds flying overhead all the time, but when you see one of these beautiful creatures up close, how can you not want to capture an image?Editing
Other than a bit of saturation and sharpening, nothing else was done to the photo.In my camera bag
Well, I don't have much gear. All I carry with me is my Nikon D7000 with the Nikkor 18-105 lens.Feedback
Get involved with local wildlife recovery operations and you can get up-close with some of these wonderful animals.
