Location

This was taken at a cafe near the Allen Event Center while for a hockey game to start seating

Time

This would have been taken late in the afternoon on a cloudy day

Lighting

light is all ambient outside lighting, but rather muted due to it being a cloudy fall afternoon

Equipment

This was taken with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mm superzoom.

Inspiration

I was waiting at the cafe for a friend to arrive when the bird showed up and posed for me, so why not?

Editing

contrast was edited a bit using Lightroom to bring the bird out a bit, other than that not much was done

In my camera bag

These days my 'walk about' setup is a Canon RP Mirrorless with a 24-240mm lens, but I'll also carry a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses if I'm looking to shoot something specific. I do have a couple of crop sensor bodies if I want a bit more reach, the extra magnification from the 1.6 crop factor helps there. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses or some sort of super-zoom so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.

Feedback

I don't have a lot of advice to give on this one, it was a pretty impromptu shot
