I took this photo by self though in my home gardenTime
To make the colors of this bird is looks better then I usually I'll be waiting between 8 am to 11 noon.Lighting
These birds do not have a special color, but I think at a certain time, the color will look exotic ... and the light of nature with the selection of a solid green background makes the caracter of this bird seems clearer and i always rely on natural light when photographing,Equipment
Certainly in a very close distance I could use this equipments : Canon EOS 600D 300mm/ ƒ/5.6/ 1/1600s/ ISO 1600Inspiration
I am not a person who has a lot of funds to be able to travel far just to take pictures of birds ... and I realized that the ability of my equipment so inadequate ... but I want to have skill about the technique photographing wild animals that move fast ... and I thought I could do it in my garden , because there I often see these birds ... then I started to try and after many months of study I was finally able to have this photo with simple my equipment and does not have to go far from home.Editing
Yes, I am aware of the quality of my image, I increase the blur in the background and cropping images through Photoshop to further make this bird action appears to be more clear ...In my camera bag
For Wild life, nature, and portrait i will bring Canon EOS 600D, Canon EOS 6D, Tamron 70- 300mm ,Tamron 150- 600mm and canon 70-200mm For Landscape i will bring Canon EOS 600D, Canon EOS 6D, Canon 24-105mmFeedback
if there is a strong desire to have something you will definitely try to find a way to obtain it with all your ability at the moment. never feel defeated before it is passed through the struggle.
