Behind The Lens

Location

Kruger national park in South Africa.

Time

Midday. These birds are skittish and don't sit still for too long.

Lighting

Perfect lighting for bird shot.

Equipment

Canon 40D with 100-400mm sigma zoom lens.

Inspiration

I love taking bird shots. Africa has an amazing variety of birds and I just love it when a shot comes together.

Editing

Yes on Aperture - exposure and sharpness.

In my camera bag

Canon 40D, Canon 7D Mark II, Sigma 100-400mm zoom, Canon 75-300mm zoom. Canon 24-75mm zoom.

Feedback

Bird photography requires patience - a tripod is a must for sharp photos. Many of my shots are taken from a car and I use bean bags to rest the camera on.
