Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken at Exmoor Zoo, Devon , England. I small family owned zoo on Exmoor.

Time

I took this one about 10.30am.

Lighting

The bird was in an aviary & the lighting was not very good due to the enclosure, walls & foliage around it so I had to adjust the exposure to compensate for that.

Equipment

My trusty Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ200, a little great camera for all occasions.

Inspiration

I loved the colouring of the bird. This is a Red Crested Touraco. the colours just seem to blend together perfectly.

Editing

I little cropping & light adjustment. I also blurred the background a little to hide the wire enclosure.

In my camera bag

I am so lazy as a photographer. I only ever carry my camera. I love the light weight of the Panasonic's as it make it easy to carry around all day wherever I go.

Feedback
