Behind The Lens
Location
I took this photo aboard a cruise ship on the weather deck.Time
it was about 4:30 P.M. this is the time when there is more activity around the ship.Lighting
the lighting was perfect, so I took advantage of it and set the camera on sports to capture more accurate movement.Equipment
my camera is Nikon D40X, 55-200mm Nikkor AF-S, hand held and set on sports setting.Inspiration
the angle of the shot. we normally look at birds from the bottom, this is different angle from the top, and the water movement in the background was a bonus. the color and composition of the whole picture was just right, I could not resist to pass the capture.Editing
yes, I did some cropping to place the main subject, the seagull, to where I want it.In my camera bag
camera, two or three types of lenses, spare batteries, cleaning kit, filters, notebook and pens.Feedback
patience and timing. be patient to wait for the best shot, it takes time for good things to happen. when the time comes, be ready and don't let it pass you by. every capture is unique, and you just have to make the most of it.
