Location
Took this at local wild bird reserve kiltonga co down northern IrelandTime
Late afternoonLighting
Lighting was dull raised iso 1250 f8 and shutter speed 500 single spot meteringEquipment
Nikon d5100 tameron 70/300 lens no flashInspiration
Noticed movement and was hoping to catch the swan taking off and was lucky when he posed for me wings upEditing
Slightly cropped the picture and darkened slightlyIn my camera bag
I usually carry when out on a wildlife shoot a tameron 70/300 and 150/600Feedback
Experiment I use manual mode single spot metering always take test shots adjust iso stay f8 unless very poor light always check your light metering shutter speed . Patience and luck each day brings something new I am still learning and most importantly have fun
