Location

This photo was taken at an aviary sanctuary in Northern California during a wildlife photography workshop.

Time

It was late morning. All the birds we very active preening themselves. I was able to capture some great closeups of their marvelous feathers.

Lighting

Natural outdoor light.

Equipment

Cannon 60d with wide angle lens and iv filter. No flash or tripod.

Inspiration

I’m an avid animal lover which is pretty easy to recognize but the images I shoot. I’ve always been fascinated with birds and their amazing colorings.

Editing

Cropped only

In my camera bag

As a nurse I can’t really afford all the gear many major photographers carry. I have a bag with my DSLR, usually a 45mm and 100 mm lens, a wide angle attachment, various filters and a lens hood. And of course a clear disposable shower cap to cover my gear if it rains.

Feedback

Photography workshops at sanctuaries are great for shooting animal images because you can usually go closer than the general public so you get good pictures without having to have an exceptionally long and expensive lens the way you would in the wild.
