Location
This image was taken in the Kruger National Park in South AfricaTime
Early morning light made the colors of this beautiful bird extra specialLighting
Golden light in the early morning and late afternoon always create special imagesEquipment
Canon 1DX with bean bag. Taken from the vehicle.Inspiration
These birds are simply beautiful and I am always looking for the best opportunity to photograph them. In this case the background made the colors pop and the perch was also specialEditing
Post-processing included cropping, saturation and sharpening. Very little editing was requiredIn my camera bag
Canon only. 600mm lense plus 1.4 mk III for birding and 200- 400mm zoom for animalsFeedback
Background colors are very important. Make sure the perch is special, eye contact is important.
