Location
Pasir Ris Park of Singapore. The nest of this family was located on a branch of the tree right above the pond.Time
This was shot on 10:45am Singapore local time on 29th April 2016Lighting
Very strong sunlight coming from the right side of the frame. Creating some nice catchlight on their eyes.Equipment
This was shot on Nikon D750 with 600mm f/4 lens attached with a 1.4X teleconverter.Inspiration
Beside photographing just a solo bird standing on the branch, a family of bird and parent bird feeding its chicks is very interesting as well.Editing
Yes. simple cropping, exposure, white balance and basic editing adjustment was done to this particular photo.In my camera bag
A full frame camera body such as Nikon D850 and Nikon Df. Lenses are 14-24mm f/2.8, 24-120mm f/4, 300mm f/4 and 600mm f/4. Not forgetting a 1.4X teleconverter and a sturdy Gitzo tripod and Really Right Stuff gimbal headFeedback
Make friends on the field, especially those with common interest. Whenever we have info on bird nesting at any particular spots, we would share the location. This shot would not be possible without the information provided from my fellow bird photographer friends.
