Location
This photo is taken in Germany on the island HelgolandTime
Picture is taken during the dayLighting
I wanted to use the light and the sea below to help to create the bokeh around the beautiful birdsEquipment
Canon camera and lense, no flash, no tripodInspiration
I wanted to capture the partnership and have the light and water creating the bokeh. The birds are beautiful and it is very nice to watch them how they welcome each other each time one of them returns.Editing
Not much of post-processing - WB correction and shadows and lights balancing and adding a bit of colors which were taken by the sharp sun lightIn my camera bag
camera, long lense, shorter lense, macro lense and wide lense, additional batteries, and memory cardsFeedback
Best period to go there is in the spring when the birds start to build the nests and are very active bringing the material for the nests.
