Location
I captured this picture during my first business trip in Rabat, Morocco.Time
After a long work day, at sunset I arrived at my hotel and saw this wonderful scene of birds flying above the hotel pool.Lighting
Natural light only.Equipment
As far I remember, it was the first time I have used my iPhone camera to take a picture seriously. For once, I didn't take my reflex camera with me on trip. I had no other choice than iPhone to capture this scene. And I was amazed by the result !Inspiration
I noticed the silhouette effect on the bird and wanted to capture it.Editing
I have added a little of saturation with an app filter.In my camera bag
Nikon D4 and lensesFeedback
It was a challenge to freeze the birds in this low light situation. I had to shoot and try again few times before I was pleased with the result. When I saw the scene, my first thought was "what a pity I don't have my reflex camera with me ! I can't shoot this scene" then I thought, maybe I can use my iPhone but I was not confident... But finally, it saves my day :)
