Behind The Lens

Location

Taken at the Bronx Zoo.

Time

Around noon.

Lighting

Outdoor available light on a sunny day.

Equipment

I used Canon70D and very old Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS for this shot (No tripod, 1/500)

Inspiration

This is one of 20+ shots of this birds as he (she?) struck one pose after another. It seemed that subject was posing just for me.

Editing

I shoot Raw and use Lightroom 5 to convert to jpg. I really did not manipulate anything for this shot.

In my camera bag

It depends. When I go outside, I bring my Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS and Tamron 60mm F2.0 macro lens and Tamron 17-50mm F2.8 for general purpose. When shooting indoor (babies, museum art, food) I like to use Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L II, Canon 24-70mm F2.8.

Feedback

I am still learning and I rent equipment to learn and evaluate different lenses. Patience, opportunity, advance planing for events or locations may result in having right equipment. For this effect, I needed to zoom in with relatively wide aperture.
