Behind The Lens

Location

tamarama beach sydney australia

Time

the shot was taken early dawn around 630 am

Lighting

the light was becoming stronger as the sun rose higher and after shooting the peacock from different angles i decided to see if i could catch the sun through the peacocks eye i did use a neutral density filter to help lower the back lash from the direct sunlight

Equipment

this was shot with canon 7d f5.0 18-55 mm with neutral density filter set at nd4

Inspiration

i was looking to shoot something different from the normal sunrise shots in a different way and came across the peacock which was on display

Editing

no post editing was involved

In my camera bag

i try to limit my load but sometimes it pays to take a little extra gear

Feedback

when i find something different i like i try to shoot it from every angle and then once i check them at home i go back and re shoot the angles i like with any adjustments that are needed to get that special shot. i have learnt in my travels life is too short to miss any shot so shoot shoot shoot and shoot again
