Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken during a trip to South Africa in 2014. I spotted this beautiful bird when we were in Addo Elephant Park when we stopped to look at a view from a lookout high in the park. It came and landed on a tree just outside the car and stayed there for some photos.An ideal photo opportunity.

Time

It was taken in the early afternoon.

Lighting

It was a lovely, clear, sunny day for our visit to the park.

Equipment

Canon 7D and Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM, hand held through an open window. No tripod or flash.

Inspiration

I love taking photos of all the animals and birds that we see during our travels.

Editing

From memory, no post-processing.

In my camera bag

I now have a Canon 7D MK II, Canon 5D MK III, Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM which I normally take when travelling, along with Canon 24-105 mm F4 L series lens, numerous batteries, charger, CF cards, reader, external hard drive.

Feedback

Take photos when the opportunity arises. Be prepared camera in hand when travelling.
