Behind The Lens

Location

Photo taken at the Brevard Zoo, Melbourne, Florida.

Time

Image was captured at around 11:00am

Lighting

This was from a series of images shot of this subject under ambient light.

Equipment

Equipment used as follows: Canon 7D (first generation) and an EF 100-400 4.5-5.6L lens and that was all.

Inspiration

Vultures by the nature of their looks are not “pretty” birds however I found the King Vulture to be both beautiful and Majestic.

Editing

Minor post processing included some sharpening and color correction for the cooler lighting tones.
