Behind The Lens

Location

Wyomissing, pa

Time

Around 2pm

Lighting

Natural, but I did play with the lighting on this one.

Equipment

Nikon d60, with 200 sigma zoom

Inspiration

I loves the way he was looking at me, he was staying near as I took pictures of his babies. He didn't seem to mind me snapping some of him to, I also loved the way the wind was blowing his feathers around, makes him m look like the a ominable snow. Bird. Its a peaceful shot, that's what in love most.

Editing

I did lighten, sharpen, etc to give it a more high def feel to it.

In my camera bag

Nikon d60 with sigma 200/zoom lens

Feedback

Always make sure your looking everywhere, it I hadn't turned around I would never have seen him sitting in the tree behind me and would have missed this great shot
