Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my rural backyard, just beyond my patio door exit. We love to feed and watch the birds and other wildlife in our yard. This fella was hungry and more than willing to pose for a shot while he dug in.

Time

This photo was taken mid-morning

Lighting

Daylight but not in direct sun.

Equipment

Fuji camera on loan from a photographer friend. No tripod or special lens, no flash

Inspiration

I love taking pictures of wildlife. It can be challenging to get the shots you want as animals and birds move when they want. But it's worth it for those occasional shots that turn out great!

Editing

I believe I cropped slightly and zoomed in just a little.

In my camera bag

I am an amateur and new to photography. I don't have a camera yet (thus the loan of one from a friend). Often I end up taking photos with my phone.

Feedback

Patience and stillness
