Behind The Lens
Location
Thorp Perrow Arboretum and Wildlife Park near Masham, North Yorkshire, England. The Wildlife Park is mainly birds of prey and some smaller animals.Time
Taken just after 3 in the afternoon in April 2013, it was a family outing for my birthday (don't ask how old).Lighting
Afternoon light on a spring afternoon, the day was sunny with some cloud to diffuse the light.Equipment
Taken on a Canon 650D with a 55-250mm lens at 125th of a second at F5.6 and 200 ISO. HandheldInspiration
I had taken a few from different positions but noticed the hedgerow in the background from this position provided less distraction, especially at F5.6Editing
Taken RAW and processed in Adobe Photoshop CS6, minimal processing.In my camera bag
These days I normally carry a 7D with 24-105 lens, and a 70-200Feedback
Watch how the animals behave, and also try and position for a an uncluttered shot with minimal distractions
