Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Northwest Florida at St. Marks NWR

Time

Photographed around 10am in the morning

Lighting

It was a cloudy overcasted day

Equipment

Used a Sony A900 DSLR, 70-300mm Lens, Handheld

Inspiration

The lighting was perfect

Editing

Minor adjustments in camera raw

In my camera bag

Lenses: 16-65mm, 24-85mm, 70-300mm, Tripod, Flash, ND Filters, Grad ND Filters, PL Filter, Remote Shutter Release,

Feedback

Use a telephoto lens, not a macro lens. A macro lens has a very shallow DoF.
