Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken out on the patio where I work. Which is in the middle of no where in Rio Blanco County, Colorado.

Time

Mid Morning

Lighting

Sun was shining from the southeast and I was facing south.

Equipment

Canon Rebel XT with a 55-200mm IS Lens.

Inspiration

I have always been very fascinated with birds flying. Seeing them sore through the air gliding on the wind. The opening of the wings has always seemed like a sign of freedom.

Editing

I cropped it a bit and sharpened it to get more detail on the wings.

In my camera bag

I carry two cameras. A Canon EOS Rebel XT for a back up and my main camera is a Canon EOS T3i. My lens include A Canon EFS 18-55mm IS Lens, Canon EFS 55-250mm IS Lens, Canon 100-300mm Lens and a Tamaron 2x tele-converter. Various filters and cleaning tools. Also a plug in remote and a IR remote for those shots I need absolute stillness. A large attachable flash and a Manfrotto tripod.

Feedback

Always be on the look out for something spectacular. Even though a you may see birds take off all the time something about being close up and personal makes it more than an ordinary thing.
