Behind The Lens

Location

For my 50th birthday, we hired a lodge near the Kruger National Park. We were sitting outside enjoying the warm weather and this Cape Startling landed on the bird feeder. I couldn't resist the shot.

Time

Early evening

Lighting

It was an impromptu shot in the early evening, giving me nice soft light.

Equipment

Camera NIKON D5300 Aperture 220/10?ISO 12800?Shutter 10/2500?Focal Length 3000/10?

Inspiration

It was the spur of the moment as this lovely bird came to see what we had to offer.

Editing

Converted from a RAW image and slight adjustments to exposure and contrast

In my camera bag

Nikon D5300, 18-55mm lens, 50mm prime lens and a 70-300mm Sigma lens

Feedback

Capture the moment. Don't overthink it.
