Behind The Lens
Location
Photo was taken in the back gardenTime
Mid afternoon in spring at the height of nesting timeLighting
Can't remember much about the lighting, however since the image was taken in Ireland, the chances are that it was semi-cloudy. Cloud is always great for diffusing light and reducing harsh shadowsEquipment
No tripod, just a fast shutter speed and the lens on my "vintage" 2001 Olympus 2100 (with 10x optical zoom) zoomed out to it's extent (380mm).Inspiration
Just like taking photos of nature and try to do so at every opportunityEditing
Just a little brightening, contrast increase and some highlightingIn my camera bag
Olympus 2100, Nokia Lumia 530 and now a fancy new Nikon D5300 with 18 - 140 super zoom lens. This lens has received great reviews so I decided to buy it as an alternative to the standard 18 - 55 kit lens.Feedback
Make friends with the animals so you don't require an extremely long telephoto lens!
