Behind The Lens

Location

At the Wildlife World Zoo in Litchfield, Arizona.

Time

My friend and I always like to get there when the zoo opens. The light is good and it's not as crowded at that time. This was taken around 10AM.

Lighting

Goes without saying that we have the brightest light during the day here in Arizona. I was glad that there was a little shade in this area where maybe 40-50 flamingos were on display.

Equipment

Canon Rebel T4i, handheld with no flash.

Inspiration

I love flamingos and when this one was cleaning itself, the lines in its neck and that wonderful color just caught my eye.

Editing

I can't recall; but I usually try "auto-color" in Photoshop first. Amazing how it can have a positive effect on your image.

In my camera bag

Lenses and spare batteries for sure.

Feedback

No, often it's just luck and being in the right place at the right moment.
