Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Germany

Time

It was probably 10 in the morning around noon.

Lighting

It was a really really cloudy day and it was super windy too so I had to work with the owl movements and obviously all the shadows and the poor light had that day

Equipment

I used a 90 millimeter Tamron in my Nikon D 7100

Inspiration

The thing that inspired me the most to take this picture was the Vivid color on the owl eyes

Editing

It was only a simple cropping and Vibrance

In my camera bag

From my Nikon D 7100 90 millimeter lens 35 millimeter lens 50 millimeter lens 3 tripods from a regular one to a table size 1 that's pretty much it

Feedback

Be patient when you're working with wild animals you just have to be patient and be ready because you will only have one chance to get a good shot
