Behind The Lens

Location

This picture was taken in the parking lot at the lock and dam #14 in Davenport, IA, after I was leaving from a day of shooting.

Time

This taken early afternoon.

Lighting

This was obviously taken using available light

Equipment

I used my 7dmk2 with a Sigma 150-600.

Inspiration

This was a unique close angle, showing a close up of the eagles head.

Editing

I did some light cropping and basic color and exposure correcting in lightroom.

In my camera bag

When shooting sports, my 7dmk2 with my 300, f2.8, and my 5dmk3 w 70-200, f2.8. For portraits, my 5dmk3 w 24-70, f2.8 and flashpoint xplor600, and 2 ad200s. I also add one or more of my Yongnuo flashes with assorted light modifiers, grids and snoots for my product photography.

Feedback

Use a long lens. It doesnt have to be particularly fast, but I would suggest a body good for sports and nature shooting, like the Canon 7dmk2 or mk3.
