On a scale of one to ten on the cuteness scale, you'd have to say ducklings are a twenty. A lovely shot, thanks for putting it in the project.

Behind The Lens

Location

At the park in the middle of downtown Boston

Time

The intent was to use the sun light (only natural light for this shot) .This is way this picture is taken around 10:00 am It was a beautiful sunny day.

Lighting

The light is amazing on sunny days, but you need to watch closely to for reflection and shadow. You cannot manipulate the direction of the light. The photographer need to find the position around that the light is perfect for what he intend to do. I love shooting subjects in this light and I like to use imperfect lighting, it makes the image feel less staged and more natural.

Equipment

The equipment which I used was just my camera Sony Alpha NEX F3- f/9.0 Exposure 1/320 ISO – 2000 and auto flash ( no flash ) no tripod or additional light or reflectors

Inspiration

I just walk in the park and when i saw those small cute creatures ..... i just took the shot

Editing

No

In my camera bag

Sony Alpha NEX F3- tripod and few different lenses ( 18-55 standard just for" everyday" photos, 28 mm F 2.8 Macro Focus Lens Minolta and Minolta MD ProSpec 70-210mm Zoom Lens )

Feedback

Most important for the photographers using only the natural light is to utilizing light and shoot constantly
