Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a walk around an urban lake in Edmonton. Beaumaris Lake is one of my favorite photography walks in the city.

Time

This was taken during an early evening walk in late spring.

Lighting

Natural sunlight only.

Equipment

Canon 70D, Canon 100-400 telephoto lens.

Inspiration

This gosling did not seem to mind sitting and having its photo taken. Fortunately with the telephoto lens, I could get the shot from a distance away, not startling the young thing.

Editing

I did a small bit of tweaking in lightroom, but not much at all.

In my camera bag

I carry my canon 6D, a portrait lens and a macro lens, as well as my telephoto. I will add or change to other lenses if I am off to do a specific shoot that requires them. I will also add a flash if I know I will be indoors, or shooting flowers in a shady spot.

Feedback

Be patient, and wait for the subject to have just the right pose.
