Location
This image was captured in South Texas near the town of Refugio. It was taken on the Texas Photo Ranch.Time
It was taken about 9:30 in the morning.Lighting
The sky had thin, high clouds affording ample light without having direct sunlight.Equipment
Nikon D7000 with a Nikkor 300mm lensInspiration
Catching the moments of bird flight that are not usually seen is what drove me to capture this image.Editing
I ran it through Photoshop but only adjusted for minimally for lights, darks and balanced colors. Very little was done to the image.In my camera bag
Nikkon D600, nikkor 80-400, nikkor micro 105mm, nikkor 16-24mmFeedback
Set up the shot so you know where the bird will land. Get focus and all settings set and then use a remote trigger to fire a burst as the bird lands.
