Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken at the Arundel Wildlife and wetland trust in Arundel.Time
middle of the day around 12 - 1300Lighting
it was in woodland so the lighting was mainly shadowEquipment
i have a canon 1100D this was taken with a 55-250mm lens 6.3, no flash and 1/400Inspiration
i love these colourful birdsEditing
not much as i dont like to manipulate my pictures. i may have sharpened a little but not much else.In my camera bag
i have several lenses and have updated to an even bigger one since taking this picture. But i normally have the usual 18-55 mm lens, a 55-250 mm and sometimes use my 70-300mm lens but feel that the canon 250mm is far better than the 300mm lens i have. My new lens is a 150-600mm sigma.Feedback
no i dont really have any advice, just patience and wait for the shot. I must have been there for about 30 minutes before i got this shot. patience and it will reward you.
