Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at whips made zoo, London.

Time

This photo was took at around midday.

Lighting

It was a very bright day so the colour really did stand out to me, also as I was taking the picture the flamingo opened its eye and the timing was perfect.

Equipment

I used a Nikon d7100 with a sigma 300mm f2.8 lens.

Inspiration

When I set out to take my photos I tend to stick with a theme I.e colour,shape ,size etc and on that day the theme was orange.

Editing

For my post prediction all I did was slightly change the saturation and darken the background.

In my camera bag

In my bag I tend to take my Nikon d7100 and d7000 with a sigma 300mm f2.8, sigma 105mm f2.8 macro and my Nikon 50mm f1.8, a manfrotto tripod and monopod also my Nikon binoculars.

Feedback

I haven't been a professional photographer for very long but in that short time I have realised that patience is key with wildlife because as soon as you move you camera what something will happen.
