Behind The Lens

Location

Gilbert, Az the Ripirian Preserve at water ranch.

Time

Early one over cast morning.

Lighting

I love overcast and cloudy days for photography They help in not blowing the whites on beautiful Egrets and make the details stand out.

Equipment

Canon 50d LS 100-400 lens

Inspiration

A beautiful day and a beautiful Snowy Egret. I take lots of Egret photos I wanted this one to be different To show the beautiful intensity of this common bird.

Editing

Yes,I pride my self on being a minimulist when it comes to postprocessing however, this one I did process more then I typically do for Egrets. I saturated the yellow a bit more and cleaned up the background to be a uniform white.

In my camera bag

Canon 50d/Canon 40d Cannon LS 100-400 lens.

Feedback

Gray days are great ! Look for the unusual light Or lack thereof that can provide for common things Seen on uncommon ways.
