Behind The Lens

Location

I snapped this on a secluded beach here in Southeast Alaska while crabbing on the beach which is only exposed to air during minus tides. She was walking around on a sand dune just above my location.

Time

Early mornings are nice here.

Lighting

I love the outdoor light available in the very early morning hours.

Equipment

I'm a Canon user.

Inspiration

The eagle was chirping at me as it walked across the dune towards me.

Editing

Nope. I almost never alter photos in post other than cropping and framing. I prefer the natural look.

In my camera bag

I normally carry wide angle, fisheye, long range telephoto, macro and mid range lenses. A variety of brands.

Feedback

Find the wild places wherever you live.
