Location
This was taken at the Memphis ZooTime
This was taken late afternoonLighting
This was an indoor shot taken in their Budgie houseEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 70D and older SuperzoomInspiration
Zoo aviaries are always fun, especially if someone is there to hand feed themEditing
This was massaged a bit in LightroomIn my camera bag
I normally carry a Canon RP or 80D (I finally wore out the shutter in my trusty 70D) with a Sigma 18/300mm mounted, and a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses, ranging from a 8mm diagonal fisheye to a Sigma 200-500mm telephoto depending on what I'll be shooting. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 18-300mm Sigma though, the Sigma's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the openFeedback
This is an older shot saved as JPG - use RAW if you have the software to handle it, you'll have a lot more room to do post processing...
