Behind The Lens

Location

This image is composed of multiple pictures of the many hummingbirds that visit my feeders at home in West Virginia.

Time

All images were taken in the afternoon, after the sunlight switched to the South side of my house.

Lighting

All images were taken in natural lighting.

Equipment

For these shots I used my Nikon D850, handheld, with a Tamron 28-300mm F/3.5-6.3. My favorite everyday lens.

Inspiration

The wonders of nature always inspire me and awe me as well. I don't need to go anywhere for enjoyment, I have all I need in my backyard, and free!

Editing

I shoot in RAW format, so all my images experience some level of post-processing whether to save in a viewable format or adjustments such as exposure, Highlights, shadows, contrast, etc.

In my camera bag

Usually my Nikon D850, Tamron 28-300mm lens, 24-70mm lens, various filters including polarizing filters, a set of white balance cards, Nikon SB-900 Flash, lens cleaning kit, extra cards, and pepper spray.

Feedback

Just shoot a lot of pictures. Enjoy the advantage of digital photography.
