Behind The Lens

Location

The RSPB reserve at Bempton Cliffs is a wildlife wonderland. A host of seabirds including gannets and puffin make this their home for the nesting season. With photography here you can be spoilt for choice but the parallel flight caught my eye.

Time

Birds are active from dawn till dusk but I seem to remember this was a mid morning shot. Always a bit of a challenge on the East Coast as you are shooting towards the sun

Lighting

No. It is what it is.

Equipment

Pentax k3 with 55-300 lens. Forget tripods with the speed these birds fly.

Inspiration

Just love wildlife photography - especially birds

Editing

No virtually all my images are sooc apart from the odd crop.

In my camera bag

Two bags. For years I've had a Pentax body and a range of lenses and filters. Delighted with the for the image quality and IBIS. Recently bag 2 is an Olympus set up. Similar, if not better, IBIS performance but a smaller sensor.

Feedback

No
