Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken in backyard Lawrenceville Ga

Time

It was taken late afternoon

Lighting

Very sunny day

Equipment

Nikon D5100 200mm lens

Inspiration

I noticed the bluebird was using the bath daily about the same time. The birds spook easy so I located myself in a position not to be seen.

Editing

Minor cropping and minor exposure adjustments

In my camera bag

Nikon D5100 and Nikon D750, various zoom lenses from 12mm-600mm; filters, tripod, cleaning supplies

Feedback

When photographing any wildlife try to learn their habits and time of day most active. Preset your camera settings, and be patient.
