Location
This image of a Golden Eagle was taken at a game fair in the West of England.Time
It was taken about lunchtimeLighting
As you can see from it's feathers it had been raining, & the sky as still overcast.Equipment
this was taken on my old camera, a Panasonic Lumix FZ50Inspiration
Golden Eagles are very regal birds & the proud nature of this one stood out. With the droplets of rain sitting on it's feathers illustrating the water proofing it has, this bird caught my eye.Editing
No, I felt this image was fine as I took itIn my camera bag
I travel very light. I keep a tripod in my car but usually only carry my camera with meFeedback
Try to capture the character of the bird. The eyes on birds of prey are very important & the sharpness of the face. Feathers can add a great deal to your picture by picking out the colours or as in this case the water droplets sitting on the top.
