Behind The Lens

Location

Well, I was walking in my local nature trail, Lemoine's Point Conservation area, in Kingston, Ontario. A truly lovely place, with plenty of wildlife, birds, and views of Lake Ontario.

Time

I would say around the afternoon, in between 1 - 3pm.

Lighting

Natural lighting.

Equipment

Handheld Canon Rebel Xs. Thats it !

Inspiration

I love animals and wildlife, I love to document their beauty for all to share!

Editing

A few tweaks in lightroom for levels and maybe some sharpening. Nothing heavy!

In my camera bag

A 50mm prime, a 75-300 zoom, Canon Rebel xs, 430ex II flash and sometimes a tripod.

Feedback

I would say practice, Just shoot everything, all the time! If you have a pond or a lake with ducks, thats how i started. Theres always tons of Mallards hanging around, theyre great to practice on! And lovely too! Any place that can guarantee any type of bird, go there often and shoot all the time. Thats all I can really say. Oh and be quiet.
