Location
I took this photo off the south side of highway 50 off of East Bidwell Street, Folsom, California.Time
It was probably about 6 p.m. in the evening.Lighting
Well, I stumbled across this photo setting. I was on my way home and noticed there were too large bird sitting in an Oak tree. Before I could commit to photographing these birds, I had to call my husband quickly and find out if he could pick up our daughter. Once he said yes, I spun around and went the opposite direction on Highway 50 and by the time I pulled over, I had to race over. To park, because there wasn't a safe place to pull over on the road. So I must have ran 500 ft to catch the sunset but with enough light to capture the silhouette of these two find hawks. I wanted to get much closer but, the ground was such that I couldn't really make that happen and I didn't want to stumble. Also on the other side, was a fenced-in gate. I considered this moment a total Godsend.Equipment
I used a Canon 70D and a 100 - 400 millimeter lens.Inspiration
I have always had a love for taking photos of hawks. They are such beautiful birds and very graceful and they fly. Between having a gorgeous sunset and two hawks sitting in the tree, it was a breathtaking moment for me. I've been a nature and Wildlife lover for over 40 years.Editing
The only thing I did was increase the saturation a little bit.In my camera bag
I normally have my Canon 70D and my telephoto lens.Feedback
Well, the first piece of advice is, to always have your camera on hand, no matter where you are. Because opportunities of Wildlife can open up at any one point in the day. The second advice I would give is, just be on the lookout & aware of your surroundings.
