Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken in the KOA Campground in Salina, Kansas.

Time

I was waiting for my wife to be ready to leave, early morning, for the Smokey Hills Art and Music Festival, when this pair showed up.

Lighting

Just natural light under a shade tree.

Equipment

This was taken with a Nikon D5100.

Inspiration

I saw the mother robin encouraging her chick to fly. She flew up on a plant stand with a bug in her beak to give her baby if it would fly up.

Editing

Cropping was done to frame the image.

In my camera bag

The above Nikon D5100, an assortment of lenses, and a Canon SX710 HS compact camera.

Feedback

If you have to wait around for your partner to be ready to go, keep eyes open and camera ready!
