Behind The Lens

Location

This pic was taken in Corbett..India

Time

This was around 8 in the morning, with the sun still low

Lighting

As the time of the year was around Feb , and it is winter, the sun is not harsh, made a good day for photography.. I got this shot around 8 in the morning, when the light was nice and soft and coming from a low v angle.

Equipment

This pic was taken from a safari vehicle, and the gears used was Nikon D 800 body with a sigma 800 mm lens with a bean bag for stabilization.

Inspiration

Although, a common bird, but the right light could bring about the best of it.

Editing

PP was very minimalistic, as the light was good there was hardly any need to process much. A bit of WB correction and a bit of shadow opening was all that was required.

In my camera bag

Currently, I do a lot of work on wildlife with a wide angle lens, hand held. The gears I carry are 2 Nikon D 850 bodies, with lens like 600 mm Nikon prime, 200 mm Nikon prime and 20 mm sigma .

Feedback

For bird photography, use a proper DOF , atleast 2-3 f stops above the weirdest aperture.. The SS should be atleast above 1/100 . The ISO as low as possible
