Location
The photo was taken in front of my house in Matthews, NC. Snow on the River Birch tree added a nice feeling of a winter and the contrast of the blue bird against the white snow was really nice.Time
It was afternoon and I think it had just stopped snowing.Lighting
It was overcast and I was going to use a flash to get that pop, but instead I went with the natural light of day.Equipment
It was taken a couple of years ago when I was using a Nikon D5100 and a 300mm lensInspiration
It was winter in the south...a blue bird on a river birch branch in the snow.Editing
Light room. Mostly crop and adjust some light.In my camera bag
Pack your camera equipment for the shoot... but always keep a windbreaker, gloves and a hat in your camera backpack. When the sun starts to set and your taking pictures of nature, sports, or landscapes, it will begin to cool down.Feedback
Plan ahead.... scout an area. Know when and where the sun comes up and sets. Try to put yourself in the right place at the right time. Good things will happen.
