Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken at Healesville Sanctuary

Time

Photo was taken during the birds of prey demonstration flight in the afternoon

Lighting

I made sure I sat in the arena with the light behind me rather than shooting into the sun

Equipment

It was a trial run for my new Fujifilm XT-1 with a 18-135mm lens

Inspiration

Always loved wildlife, plus new camera and lens the Sanctuary seemed a good place to do a trial run

Editing

No post processing

In my camera bag

the Fujifilm XT-1 with 18-135mm lens, Iphone 5 and now a 60mm macro

Feedback

Practice panning, using a fast shutter speed, high iso or combination of all 3
