Location
brisbane botanical gardensTime
mid afternoonLighting
perfect time of day , surrounding plant life subtly diffusing glareEquipment
camera ... coolpix p520 aperture f/4.9 ISO 360 shutter speed 10/2500 focal length 775/10 hand held , no flashInspiration
i love nature , birds especially ..... i find getting the character of a subject the most important element .... lorikeets are cheeky ..... i rounded a corner and there he was , couldnt resistEditing
tweeked contrast , thats all .... pretty much come out as you see itIn my camera bag
since this shot was taken i have a completely different arsenal ..... i do recommend the coolpix for starting out though ..... great affordable camera , awesome zoom , great clarityFeedback
blend in , become part of the surroundings ..... be quiet , be still ....... be respectful
