Behind The Lens

Location

Took this Photo in Our Front Yard in Oklahoma, Looked out our Livingroom Window One day and saw this Bird, and I JUST HAD to take a picture of it.

Time

It was in the afternoon.

Lighting

I JUST ALWAYS shoot in Manual Mode and I ALWAYS use my 300mm Telephoto Lens, SO I can ZOOM in on my subject and Not Scare them off.

Equipment

I use my SONY AX Digital Camera, Didn't use a Flash, Didn't use a Tripod, I used my SONY 300mm Telephoto Lens

Inspiration

The way it was Hovering by the Tree, I thought it was AWESOME. I JUST HAD to capture it.

Editing

I DON'T use photoshop, I just upload my pictures and that is what I like. I adjust my lighting while using/shooting my subject while in Manual Mode on my Camera.

In my camera bag

My Camera, and another Lens Just in Case I don't want to use my Telephoto Lens. The other Lens is a Promaster, 28 to 80

Feedback

My advise would be to ALWAYS use a Telephoto Lens SO you don't scare the subject off. AND, I would suggest to shoot in Manual Mode SO you can adjust the lighting yourself. I NEVER use AUTO Mode.
