Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken outside my home near Blue Ridge, Ga.

Time

The photo was taken early in the morning

Lighting

The lighting was natural sunlight with no fill light

Equipment

I used a Nikon D3200 with a Nikor 55-200 lens, handheld

Inspiration

I had observed these birds eating berries on this bush the day before and decided to use a makeshift blind to get a photo of them, luck helped a lot in their pose

Editing

The only post processing was Basic editing and cropping

In my camera bag

Nikon D3200, Nikon D7100, Nikor 18-55, Nikor 55-200, and Sigma 70-300 lenses And Yongnuo Flash

Feedback

Patience and a good hiding spot, study the birds they usually have habits in their patterns such as eating that will give you some idea where they will be.
