Behind The Lens

Location

early in the morning.At first sunrays near Sile river into the Cervara oasis.North east of Italy.In winter season

Time

The alarm clock rang very early that cold winter morning and it was very hard to leave the bed to dress like an explorer of the polar circle cold artico.It was cold and it was dark outside.120 km by car to reach the location and I was thinking don't leave my warm bed.But when you have an appointment with a friend you can not let him down, and then I gathered all my strength and I got up.

Lighting

When I saw the bird remained silent without breathing because I wanted to capture the exact moment of the flight away.I was all focused on this moment

Equipment

I use canon 5d mark III and canon lens 500 with tripod

Inspiration

I love raptors.I am fascinated by flight and wings.The flight of a big raptor is one of the most beautiful thing to watch

Editing

No.For animals i don't use particular post prox.

In my camera bag

Many things.Filters ,lens,optical stuffs for cleaning,batteries,tripod

Feedback

Be patient and lucky will smile
