Location
This photo was taken at my cottage in Bruce CountyTime
I'd noticed Cedar Waxwings eating the berries off of the service berry trees. I set up my tripod and blind and waited a couple of hours until I managed to get this shot.Lighting
It was a cloudy day so the lighting was more soft than usual for this time of day.Equipment
I used a Nikon D40 with a 200mm lens, and a tripod.Inspiration
I just love the colours you see on Cedar Waxwings. Their bodies have such an interesting shape. Just great looking birds.Editing
With this image, I just did a little cropping. Most of my photographs do not have any post processing.In my camera bag
Not much really. Camera, regular lens and telephoto lens. I also keep the battery charges and cleaning kit for camera and lenses.Feedback
I walk a lot and pretty much always take my camera with me. When I have time to set up for a shot I always use my tripod. Experiment with different settings on your camera and take lots of pictures! I will often use almost all of my pre set settings when taking pictures as this is a quick way to capture images with many different effects.
