Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Woodlawn Park here in San Antonio Texas

Time

Close to sunset

Lighting

If my memory serves me correctly it was close to sunset

Equipment

I am new to the photography world so there is a lot that I do not know, nor understand. So with that being said this particular photo was taken a Nikon D90, the lens that I used was a zoom nikkor 80-200mm 1:4. There was no flash take with this picture,because I didn't have any kind of speed flash or any exterior flash other than the one that is on the camera.I didn't know how to use that

Inspiration

I've been using a kit lens with this new d90 that I got. So when I got the money to get me a zoom lens. I got this Zoom nikkor 80-200 and took it out to Woodlawn Park here in San Antonio where there would be people and small wildlife and a small man-made pond. So I knew that they would be able to get something worth my time. And that's when I saw this duck with the light hitting it, so I took my first shot nothing came out. So I took a couple more and got this shot.

Editing

I try to stay away from post-processing or any kind of editing. This is because I'd like to try to keep my photos as authentic to what my Eyes see as much as possible

In my camera bag

My D 90 for my camera, my zoom-Nikkor 80-200mmlens, my Nikon DX AF – S 55–200mm 1:45-5.6G lens and my Nikon DX AF – S Nikkor 18-55 1:3 5-5.6G kit lens

Feedback

The most important thing is to be patient, don't force the shot allow the shot to be natural and fluid in all its aspects. Then pull the trigger
