Behind The Lens

Location

The Staten Island Zoo, Staten Island New York.

Time

I think it was roughly 3:00 - 4:00 pm.

Lighting

It was outdoors, just daytime lighting. It was a clear day, on the sunny side.

Equipment

My Nikon D7100 with the 18-140mm lens. Hand held.

Inspiration

I saw the eagle and took a shot. I didn't think it would turn out well because his back was to me and he was within an enclosure with a black mesh surrounding him.

Editing

I may have cropped it a bit, and possibly raised the warmth a bit,

In my camera bag

My Nikon D7100, two lenses being the 18-140mm and a 55-300mm lens. Two batteries, the charger with a/c cord, and the usb cable to hook camera to my computer,

Feedback

I guess for the most part don't right the shot off as being a poor shot when you take it and see it in the display. When I opened it on the computer I was surprised that it came out pretty ok.
