Behind The Lens

Location

Taken on the back landing one mid morning weekend. I'd never actually seen one around, just heard them laughing in the morning. He posed for me for ages.

Time

Mid morning on a weekend in the summer.

Lighting

Grabbed my camera/phone as it was the closest to me and I didn't want them flying off.

Equipment

Sorry to be a loser ????but it was on my Samsung phone as I no longer possess my Canon. (Gone to the great camera shop in the sky. RIP Trev.

Inspiration

The beauty and uniqueness of Australian wildlife. This happy birdy made my day by giving me and my partner a special treat as they don't randomly land on a balcony.

Editing

I sharpened the focus and took the light down some as this is the sunny side of the landing.

In my camera bag

Camera phone only right now till I can afford my dream camera setup.

Feedback

This was pure luck, chance, fortuitousness. Be ready for these once in a bluemoon shots.
