Location
This photo was taken at Struve Slough near my home. I visit this area often and this day I ate lunch on a bench near a walking path. As I was eating lunch these two White Pelicans came by. I find that some of my best photos was juat being in the right place at the right time.Time
Early afternoon.Lighting
It was a very sunny day.Equipment
For birding photography I was using a Canon 70D with a 400mm Canon lens. I usually have a tripod although this was a handheld shot.Inspiration
