Location
I took this photo at Wings Wildlife Park. Which is at Gunns Plains in Tasmania.Time
It was just after lunch time.Lighting
Not really. I did make sure that I was not facing the sun while taking this picture.Equipment
Just my camera and I leaned my camera on the pole where I had placed the seeds for the bird.Inspiration
I wanted some close ups and funny shots of the emu and I thought by placing the seeds on the pole it might work.Editing
I cut the image a little to take away some of the background.In my camera bag
I don't have must equipment. Because I don't like carrying it around. I sometimes take my Olympus OMD if I want to make pictures of birds but normally I just carry two small camera's. One in each pocket. Which are the Olympus Tough TG2 and TG3.Feedback
I placed some seeds for the bird on a high pole and started shooting every time he wanted to pick up the seeds. I had to be careful that he didn't peck me. It was very funny and I had lots of laughs while taking the pictures.
