Behind The Lens

Location

I took this picture in mendon ponds state park N.Y.

Time

This was around 12:00 in the afternoon.

Lighting

There was light all around him but he was in the shade fortunately there was enough light to get the bright red to show up in the picture.

Equipment

I used a canon 20D

Inspiration

I enjoy taking bird shot and i don't get a chance to see these kinds of birds very often so when i do i jump at the chance.

Editing

I sharpened it a little then high lightened the color a little.

In my camera bag

I have a canon 70D with an18mm-135mm lens and a 150mm-600mm lens

Feedback

Just be ready for anything you never know what might be waiting for you to get a shot of just around the corner.
