Location
This photo was taken on my acreage in Washington.Time
I believe it was early afternoon when I was able to get this photoLighting
I just took what natural light was availableEquipment
I had a canon CSU at the time. I had a 55-250 mm zoom lens. That was all I usedInspiration
I had been trying for two weeks to photograph this hawk. Every time I would go outside he would take off. Then one day I just went out and laid down on my back in the driveway and pretty soon he was circling overhead.Editing
I always shoot in raw. So I brought the colors as close to what I remembered.In my camera bag
Now I have a Canon 5D Mark IV. And several lenses. Most of the time I have them with me.Feedback
Don’t give up. Keep trying different methods.
