Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my backyard in Florida. Every night during the winter months, the egrets would fly to this Oak tree to roost for the night. I was lucky enough to capture this one with the fountain on the lake behind it. This was my first attempt at serious photography.

Time

Evening after the sun went down.

Lighting

I tried brightening the light from the fountain, but it looked like fire. In the end, I decided a simple black and white was most effective.

Equipment

I just bought my Cannon Rebel T5 and was experimenting with it.

Inspiration

I was fascinated by these great birds flying in from all directions to roost in this tree every night. It was a special setting in my own back yard.

Editing

No, other than auto correct.

In my camera bag

Camera, extra lens and extra battery.

Feedback

I'm too much of a novice to give advice, but someone once told me to try to look at images from a different angle than you normally would. So that thought is always in the back of my mind.
