This photo was taken on one of my many trips to the Riefel Bird Sanctuary in Ladner BC CanadaTime
This is one of my favorite captures of a bird ,The timing was perfect when I walked up to the lake, there was a few birds being very vocal about my presents. This one bird in particular was fearless as I walked up to the tall grass he was perched on,I placed my tripod with camera attached on the trail and snapped the shot,Lighting
It was late afternoon and the sun was behind me,Equipment
This was shot with Canon 70d and canon 100-400mm on a tripod settings 400mm f/5.5 iso100 1/800sec spot meteringInspiration
I love to try and capture wildlife in action,Editing
slight cropping and bumped up the exposure,shadows and clarity just to help brighten up the subjectIn my camera bag
I always carry my Canon 70d, Canon 100-400mm, Sigma 24-105mm f/4, Sigma 10-20 wide angle, Canon 50mm f/1.4 and my trusty Manfrotto 190 tripod is all I need for a day or a week of shooting around my home townFeedback
Be patient , and keep trying
