Behind The Lens
Location
Taken in the Pilansberg Game Reserve, in South Africa.Time
Taken about 11h00 making it a bit challenging. It also shows that photos are waiting even during the midday sun. Always be ready.Lighting
Lighting was challenging because it was straight down African sun.Equipment
Camera was a Canon 400d with a 70 to 300mm Zoom lens taken from my car.Inspiration
The inspiration was that the Kori Buzzard is usually seen in the long grass. So it was a no brainier to take this unique photo.Editing
The only post- processing was a bit of sharpening.In my camera bag
Camera and a 18 to 55 mm lens as well as a 70 to 300mm lens.Feedback
My only advice to photographers is to always be ready in nature because the photo opportunities is measured in seconds.
