The day I took this, the winter sun was just setting and gave a warm light to the head and front of this Mute Swan. Also the relections of the sun made this a shot to take.Equipment
Canon EOS 5D iii using a Canon EF 24-105mm L lense. The settings were - ISO 500, F4.5 on Aperture Priority. This gave a shutter speed of 1/3200, which enabled a sharp picture.Inspiration
I have a love of nature and macro photography and have always been inspired by the work I've seen by excellent photographer on a Facebook Group which is for Amateur and Professional Photographer from Lincolnshire (for which I am a member and Admin).Editing
I use Photoshop and PSE to basically crop and adjust white balance. This shot was cropped and had minor white balance and contrast adjustments.In my camera bag
My Canon 5Diii and a Canon 7D ii. I usually carry either the 24-105L or Canon 100mm L 2.8 macro, along with my Canon 100-400mm L. Sometimes I also take a Canon Flash and ring flash for macro work.Feedback
Patience and keep looking for that special shot. I often find myself going out to shoot a certain scene or animal and come home with totally different shots. It's amazing what is around you, all you have to do is see it and photograph what you see.
