Behind The Lens

Location

I was coming back from a session with floating hide. I saw the full moon and the stork standing its nest, I immediately stop the car, took out my tripod and I took those photos.

Time

It was about 10 p.m. and there was a "super" moon shining bright in the clear skies.

Lighting

The full moon back-light, made this stork's silhouette special.

Equipment

I use my Canon EOS7D with EF 300mm f2.8L IS USM and 2x TC, I put my camera on the tripod and used cable remote control to reduce the vibrations and also turn on mirror lock-up function in the camera settings.

Inspiration

I was looking for a different way to capture the "Super" moon and when I saw the white stork standing there I decided to try.

Editing

Just simple adjustment, which I use regularly post-processing my photography.

In my camera bag

Canon EOS7D with EF 300mm f2.8L IS USM and 2x TC, 1,4x TC, Canon EF 17-40mm f4L USM.

Feedback

Next time I try to take similar photo I wound use wider aperture to get more details from the moon in the background.
