Location
Havana, CubaTime
Early AfternoonLighting
Bright sunny day. This was taken under a canopy of trees so light was filtered really well with surprisingly little to no shadows.Equipment
My "small" travel camera. Canon sx30is Such a great little cameraInspiration
I love birds and had never been so close to a hawk before. They were all around our resort and quite friendly. I couldn't resist asking the handler if I could get up close and personal with this guy.Editing
Photo shop cs5. Minor color adjustment as there was way too much yellow and just the basic crop tool.In my camera bag
Canon T3i, Canon sx30is, zoom lens, wide angle lens, and standard lens, tripod (not actually I'm the bag), a squeak toy (great for getting animals attention when needed), small notebook, micro fiber cloths, Bean bag, various filters, lens hoods, and a couple of granola bars (for those long shoots when you need a snack)Feedback
Be patient take your time to properly compose your shot. When trying to capture animals I use a high shutter speed, and set my camera to "rapid fire." Most importantly, have fun and experiment.
