Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Düsseldorf, Germany.

Time

Taken around 1 pm

Lighting

It was a nice sunny day so I wanted to use natural light

Equipment

Nikon D7000 with a 70-300mm Nikkor 4.5 lens

Inspiration

I was sitting on a bench near a lake where loads of ducks were coming to me and showing off, but this little guy sat back and dossed off to sleep.

Editing

I wanted the background to be black and white with a pop of colour to make the pigeon stand out. Edited using Adobe Photoshop CS6

In my camera bag

I always carry my Nikkor 70-300mm lens, a Nikkor macro 85mm lens, wide angle sigma lens and a tripod

Feedback

If there are loads of ducks/birds then why not look for the one that is different from the rest of them? Be patient and look for something different or unique.
