Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in Gansbaai on the west coast of South Africa where you will find a colony of the Cape Gannets.

Time

It was taken early in the morning with the sun behind me to lid up the birds.

Lighting

The best shots are early in the morning before the hard African sun light wash out all the white on the birds feathers.

Equipment

I use Canon and Sigma equipment with a mono-pod.

Inspiration

The beautiful birds in their natural environment was the inspiration.

Editing

I use Photoshop for post processing.

In my camera bag

I use Canon and Sigma equipment to shoot.

Feedback

Keep on taking photos .. the more photos you will take the more you will learn your camera and remember to always look and learn from others.
