Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken north of Port Stanley, Ontario, Canada.

Time

The time was approx. 7:00 am, taking advantage of the morning light.

Lighting

It's important to keep the sun to your back for maximum lighting effect with minimum shadows.

Equipment

Nikon D4S, 70-200mm 2.8 lens.

Inspiration

These birds are getting harder to find in the wild, having a opportunity to do so is not to be taken lightly.

Editing

I use Lightroom, and only spend a maximum of 10 minutes per photo editing.

In my camera bag

Nikon D4S, 14-24 mm, 24-70 mm, 70-200 mm, all 2.8.

Feedback

Let your passion shine through your lens.
