Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at home. I lost my daughter to suicide in 2009 and every time I see a Cardinal, it reminds me of her. I had a pair this year and now have baby cardinals.

Time

In the mid afternoon in a weekend.

Lighting

Just natural light.

Equipment

I used Canon 20D, no flash. A Canon EF lens 28-135mm. 3.5-5.6 IS Lens, no tripod.

Inspiration

The beauty of the cardinal

Editing

Yes, I lightened it and cropped it.

In my camera bag

Canon 20d and lens. Tripod, bounce flash, camera bracket and remote flash.

Feedback

Just be natural and enjoy taking photos.
