Behind The Lens

Location

I was at the trailhead of a local mountain.Oliver mountain is actually within city limits.

Time

It was early afternoon on a beautiful sunny day. So the lighting was perfect.

Lighting

The sun was shining from my back so the lighting was perfect.

Equipment

I have a Nikon 5100 with a 70 by 300 zoom with a lense shade

Inspiration

These birds are quite flighty so you have to have quick reflexes to get the shot!

Editing

I did a little brightening of the shot on the computer with windows 10.

In my camera bag

I have my Nikon 5100 with a 70 by 300 zoom and a pentax WG 3 wth a wide 25mm lense

Feedback

If you hear the birds have your camera at the ready
