Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken on my back porch in Austin, Texas.Time
I couldn't believe how calm this little guy was. I had just finished watering the plants that morning when he came out for a drink. I ran in and grabbed my camera but had to change the lens. He waited for me like he knew what was happening.Lighting
No special lighting here. Mid morning sunlight but under the porch roof.Equipment
This shot was done with a Canon Rebel XT using a Sigma 50mm Macro lens.Inspiration
I love taking photos of nature be it animal plant or just a great view. This photo was really spur of the moment.Editing
The original shot was a but dull so I punched up the color slightly.In my camera bag
I still keep my Canon Rebel XT charged and ready but I now use a Canon 7D with a variety of lenses ranging from 20mm wide angle to a 70 - 300mm zoom.Feedback
When photographing wildlife, for me, the most important this is to blend in and move slow.
