Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a London public park.

Time

I took this early afternoon

Lighting

No special lighting used as I didn't want to you use too much flash when trying to get a shot of such a small bird.

Equipment

Just a Camera

Inspiration

The birds were quite tame and happy to come to ones hand in order to get some nuts. I found it such a humbling experience to have gained their trust as its unusual for wild birds to come to your hand so I wanted to capture the moment and their wonderful expressions and movement.

Editing

None

In my camera bag

I usually have just my camera and different lenses (macro lens) and also nuts to feed little animals.

Feedback

To have a lot of patience as birds are not always so trusting of humans, also to be ready to take the shot quickly as birds do move extremely fast.
