Behind The Lens
Location
Took this shot in the Serengeti National Park on the edge of the Olduvai Gorge. This is in Tanzania, AfricaTime
Shot this around 11.00 AMLighting
The lighting was perfect for this kind of a shotEquipment
Shot on a Nikon D7000 with a Tamron 150-600 mm lens. The shot was hand held.Inspiration
I am passionate about wildlife and seeing such a beautifully colored bird for the first time, I had to make this a part of my portfolio.Editing
A bit of processing like levels, contrast etc.In my camera bag
A full frame camera like Nikon D750 with a telephoto lens - 150-600mm for wildlife and a wide angle lens for street photography.Feedback
Africa is a great place for wildlife. Anyone seriously interested in capturing birds and wild animals on camera should head for the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Masai Mara in Kenya.
