Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at work in the yard of company i work for, there is an old water tower and this birds have a nest there, this particular one i think flew on to something and get slightly injured on the left wing, we called a veterinarian and took it for care so in the end was all good.

Lighting

Equipment

Equipment used is canon eos 1300 d with kit lens 18- 55 mm.

Inspiration

This was after all a very lucky shot, i stood about 1 meter away from that bird for not scare it, i think is not common to be that close to this kind of pray birds, when i see it sit on ground and moving very little i thought well this is the chance and i moved really slow and not be aggressive in any way and get closer and took the shot. Really beautiful bird , beautiful feathers colors and it look at me all the time i think more curios than scared.

Editing

I do very little post processing mostly just very basics.

Feedback
