Behind The Lens

Location

we were on a visit to the parrot zoo at friskney lincolnshire with our grandson codie,

Time

it was around midday as we walked round the zoo,then this peacock just opened up straight in front of us.

Lighting

all natural light on this one.

Equipment

this picture was taken with my old nikon d70 and a 70 to 300mm zoom lens,

Inspiration

this was one of those unexpected,lucky i was there shots,which goes to show you should always take your camera with you because you never know whats waiting round the corner.

Editing

just a quick basic edit in lightroom,

In my camera bag

as a rule i always take my nikon d7000 (which i have bought since i took this shot) a 50mm prime,tamron 18 to 200mm,and my nikon speedlight.

Feedback

the only advice i could give to take a picture like this is as i said above,always have your camera with you and practice as often as you can so you are ready if something unexpected turns up.
