Location
This photo was taken in Canunda National Park which is situated in the South East corner of South ????????Time
It was taken at 10.30 Approx when a volunteer group The Friends Of Canunda and Beachport National Parks were having smokoLighting
The description relates to another photo I took of. Female Wren looking at herself in a huge mirror in my neighbours garden. This photo can be found in my gallery. Hence the .”female thing” ( very Chauvinistic of me) relates to that photoEquipment
I used a Nikon D5300 with a 200-500mm lens, which on the D5300 cropped sensor is effectively a 300-750mmInspiration
The Male Superb Fairy Wren is very protective of his “harem,” and will fight of any interlopers, even himself in the mirror. The “not only female thing” was a comment in regard to the other photo, an in chauvinistic joke. Very naughty of me????????????????????????????Editing
No post processing was done. I do very little, or no post processing on the majority of my photos. I do not use Photoshop or Lightroom at allIn my camera bag
In my bag I have the D5300, tripod, external flash, 10-24 mm 2.8 zoom 35mm 1.8 prime,50mm 1.8 prime 200-500mm 5.6 zoom and the kit lenses 18-55, 55-200, 55-300 zooms which are seldom used also in the bag I have various filters and a set of extenders.Feedback
I find that I bump the shutter speed right up to a minimum of the focal length but even go above 1/2000. I know this will elevate ISO. BUT I am not printing huge poster sized prints. For birds and flowers ???? I nearly always shoot in S mode. If I need to get a better depth of field I will shoot in manua,l a further sacrifice of ISO. I also switch off auto focus if I have the time for the shot. I am a total amateur and started out many years ago with a fully manual Petrie film camera. Then got lazy, and used point, and shot auto for many years. I have only in the last couple of years gone to the 35mm DSLR, and still have much to learn and relearn. I use photography too keep the brain active and do a great deal of walking which keeps me active (too a point) lol.
