Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken right here on Haida Gwaii.Every year the same Hummingbird returns to my backyard.

Time

This photo was taken early evening.When I have the best light of the day to work with.

Lighting

I also go with natural light.So there is no need for edting.

Equipment

I used a Sony DSC-HX300 for this pic,as it has a big zoom 50x.I balanced it on the windowsill.

Inspiration

I was inspired by the sheer beauty of the incredible little Hummingbird.

Editing

The only post -processing used is to sharpen the photo a little.

In my camera bag

Now the only equipment I carry is a Nikon D7100 and a sony a 6000

Feedback

When photography birds one need to be extremely patient .It pays off and also wait for the right lighting conditions and just have fun.I love birds..
