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.
