Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was captured in the outback of New South Wales, this beautiful bird is a Wedged Tailed Eagle. It is Australia's largest bird of prey. They attack kangaroo's in the outback. Their wing span 8 feet in length. To capture this beautiful bird I was very lucky as they are very weary of humans and often fly off.

Time

This was taken in early morning after leaving the Queensland border.

Lighting

Nil

Equipment

Camera was a Nikon nothing fancy.

Inspiration

I have had many a car journeys around Australia and to capture this bird at such close range was just magic.

Editing

No.

In my camera bag

None

Feedback

To me this was pure luck, right day, right time and lucky he stood still for that long as I took five shots of this eagle and this one captured him looking straight at the camera.
