Behind The Lens
Location

Natural lighting from the sunset.Equipment
Canon EOS 7D Camera Body and Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L IS USM LensInspiration
I love ducks and duck hunting. My photography hobby has grown out of a need to get outside during the rest of the year when it is not hunting season.Editing
Basic adjustments in Adobe Camera Raw.In my camera bag
I normally carry both a 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverter to extend the range of my 300mm f/2.8 Lens. I also have a Canon 5D Mark2 Camera Body because it has a full frame sensor which gives the 300mm lens a wider field of view compared to my Canon 7D Camera Body.Feedback
Practice, Practice and more Practice. It has taken me years of practice to learn the skills necessary to create my photos.
