Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken on a small lake near where I live

Time

I only shoot wildlife in the morning until 9:00 am after that the sun becomes to harsh, this was taken around 7:00 am

Lighting

Just early morning light :-)

Equipment

Canon 1DxII Canon 600mm F4 @ F4 ISO 2000 Speed 1/4000 +0.67 (2/3)

Inspiration

Its what I enjoy doing????

Editing

Very little, I did have to bring out a little more light on the Heron

In my camera bag

For this I always use some kind of 600mm F4 Sony, Nikon or Canon

Feedback

Lots of patience, it helps that I enjoy nature as much as I do
