Location
This photo was taken in the tiny town of Pinjara in New South Wales, Australia.Time
It was taken moments before dusk just as the dew and fog was settling inLighting
The sun was low and I was trying to capture its beams through the branchesEquipment
I used my old canon to take this photoInspiration
We were on a friends property and the boys had just been out for a dirt bike ride in the bush with me following them with my camera of course! As we were coming back in, this little guy was perched on the branches and it was a perfect moment !Editing
I slightly adjusted the contrast due to the sun being so low and this camera wasn't advanced enough to let me adjust the settings manually, but the rest was already so perfectIn my camera bag
I always carry my lenses and tripods with me, however when it comes to Kookaburras, you need to be pretty quick to capture them!Feedback
This time of day is difficult to capture, with all the light being so low and the ground starting to get damp, I try and take photos of the scene itself first to see what needs adjusting and then grab my subject in the middle of it!
