Location
This photo was taken at an open afternoon at Ballindalloch Castle where they had a bird display. I have always loved birds of prey and in particular eagles so I could not resist the photos of themTime
It was mid afternoon on a Sunday about 3pm I think on a lovely hot sunny summer dayLighting
As it was a glorious sunny summer day it was all natural lighting that was used as it just seemed to enhance the mood and the birds and the pheot being takenEquipment
I had my compact Fuji film in my handbag and it was just set on auto as I was not sure if there would be any photo opportunities available.Inspiration
It was just the scene, the setting and mostly I think the fact that I did not think I would be able to get that close to such a beautiful bird as this bald eagleEditing
No this was the natural, raw shot as it came straight off the cameraIn my camera bag
Normally I have my camera bag with me which contains a spare camera, tripod, batteries and sd cardsFeedback
Just do it and always carry a camera with you - you never know what can happen or what you will see.
