Behind The Lens

Location

In the Okavango delta, Botswana.

Time

At sunset.

Lighting

Photographed too long ago, but I am never afraid to shoot in direct light. Experimenting with settings always works fine with me. Just aim your focus point at the dark parts of the photo. Photo was taken handheld from a wobbly boat.

Equipment

Canon, I think it was my eos 70D at that time. Lense a fixed 300mm canon 4.5/ 5.6

Inspiration

Just loving all wildlife and looking a lot of great photos in the past.

Editing

Hardly any, just some color , brightness, saturation stuff.

In my camera bag

At the moment a Canon eos 7D mk II , and a 7D back up, Canon 100-400 mm zoom, a wide angle and a portrait lens

Feedback

Just go for it, don't be afraid to fail. You must have a lens you can trust to take sharp images.
