Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken in my backyard.I feed the birds regularly and am rewarded with great photo opportunities.Time
I caught this jay around 7 am when the light was great.Lighting
Just after sunrise gives a special light.Equipment
Canon 6D, 70-300 mm L series canon lens hand held.Inspiration
I call this "You Again" as the birds were starting to treat me like papparazzi. I was thrilled to catch him in the morning light with that look in his eye.Editing
I only crop and sometimes saturate but not this time.In my camera bag
I travel light. extra battery and smaller lens but I shoot almost exclusively with my 70- 300mm lens.Cleaning cloth,cleaning brush,filters.Feedback
When taking pictures of birds- getting them used to your being around helps to catch a more relaxed pose. I once balanced on a step ladder for 20 minutes to catch the perfect American goldfinch shot.
