This photograph of a Martial Eagle in flight was taken in Madikwe Game Reserve South Africa.Time
ending of an eventful early morning game drive (around 8.30am)- there he was waiting at a water hole WE sat watching him in anticipation of flight. - eventually I got lucky.....Lighting
best shooting for me is Golden light - early morning & early evening... just remember to keep the sun at your backEquipment
This shot was taken with a Canon 5D MK111 Lens Canon 70-200 2.8USM hand heldInspiration
All wildlife especially bird photography is a passion and always a challenge. To get the perfect shot, patience , lighting and focus , anticipation gives me a buzzEditing
I do very little post processing. If there is a requirement of a tweek here and there I will consider it but I try to get( what I see as) perfection "in the moment" ` to me that is the challenge Having said that I do play with post- processing.In my camera bag
I use Canon . Cameras - Depending where I'm off to I use a mix of 5D MK111; Canon 7D; Canon lenses - 24-105mm 4.0, 70-200mm 2.8, 28-300mm 3.5,100-400mm 4.5 monopod , various cleaning equipment, extra battery, extra SD cards, flash, tripodFeedback
It was told to me some years back by a tracker in the Bush that all you need is Patience & a lot of luck.... then remember to take as may shots as possible because that moment will never return
