Location
This photo was taken at Taronga Zoo in Sydney during a free flight bird show.Time
Taken in early afternoon.Lighting
Natural lighting on a partly cloudy day.Equipment
Hand held Canon EOS 10D. 1/160th sec @ f9 and ISO 800Inspiration
Seeing this bird in free flight and then coming back to its keeper to get a "reward" and looking so regal was just impossible not to try and get a photograph.Editing
No post processing at all apart from a small amount of cropping.In my camera bag
Two Canon cameras, a variety of lenses, but I mainly use a Sigma 18-200mm. Of course there are always an array of ND filters, a Flash unit. I rarely go anywhere without a tripod.Feedback
Be patient, but also be ready because birds move very quickly and there is always a certain amount of luck involved.
