Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my backyard by a bird feeder and fence post. I just set up my camera on our deck about 30 ft. away and hoped for the best. This bluejay landed on the fence post and posed.

Time

Afternoon

Lighting

No

Equipment

This was taken with my Nikon D750 with a Nikon 200-500 lens on a Vanguard Alta series carbon fibre tripod.

Inspiration

Needed to try out my new lens.

Editing

I used Lightroom to crop and enhance photo.

In my camera bag

I had a Nikon D750, Nikon 24-120 F4, Nikon 16-35 F4, Nikon 200-500. I have now moved on to a Nikon Z6. Also have a TC-14E lll for the 200-500 lens.
