Behind The Lens
Location
This image was taken at Sanctuary Lakes in Melbourne, Australia.Time
Taken around 3pmLighting
Sunny day gave me sufficient light for the high shutter speed used.Equipment
Nikon D200 with Nikon 80-200mm f2.8 lens. A great older lens from NikonInspiration
I was initially lining up the lower bird to capture it taking off when this argument broke out.Editing
Not a lot of post production with this one apart from straightenng the horizonIn my camera bag
Normally use the Canon 5D mk3 & Canon 7D with Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS + EF 16-35mm f2.8 L + EF 300mm f2.8 L + EF 24-105 mm f4.0 L ISFeedback
Aperture priority is a fav mode for shooting birds. Iso 320 to 640 will give fast shutter at f4 - f5.6
