Behind The Lens

Location

I actually just took this photo in my backyard. There was a bird that created a nest out of a towel that was outside, and I anxiously waited for them to hatch. When they did, I just started shooting.

Time

I took this photo at about noon. It was in the shade of a tree, and the lighting was really good

Lighting

Well the only thing worth sharing about the lighting is that it was all natural light. The sunlight was so nice that I really didn't need anything else.

Equipment

I didn't use any other equipment besides my camera. I had on a standard 18-55 lens and just started taking photos.

Inspiration

What caused me to take this photo was the fact that there was a nest of eggs sitting in my backyard. When you get an opportunity to take macro shots of baby birds, you take it.

Editing

I didn't do anything drastic in post. All I did was a slight "s" curve and brought up the saturation.

In my camera bag

In my bag I've got my rebel T3, an 18-55mm lens, a 28-135mm, a remote shutter button, a pack of filters, and I strap my tripod to the bottom. Nothing all that extraordinary really.

Feedback

If you are trying to take a macro shot like this, get your best macro lens out and crank the aperture open to the biggest possible (I'm pretty sure mine was at 5.6). If possible, keep your shutter speed at least above 1/60th because, if your subject jumps around like mine did, you want to make sure they aren't blurred. Then just started shooting. Other than that, just take a lot of photos and hope for the best!
