Location
I was standing along the Sudbury River in Sudbury MATime
Around noon time, so high sun with little shadowLighting
Natural lightEquipment
Shot with a Nikon Cool Pix. Semi automatic. No tripod or flash just hand heldInspiration
I saw Mama goose swim out of the reeds to my left with the kids and dad following. I looked at her and she at me and she just swam by right in front of me proudly showing off the familyEditing
Usual post processing: fix if crooked. Usually adjust contrast to take the edge off the light and bring out any shadowsIn my camera bag
No bag. My two cameras stay on my shoulder or car seat, pre set and ready for a quick power up focus and shoot. I may stop to adjust the f-stop if I remember or have the timeFeedback
Take the shot. Don't approach wildlife quickly or suddenly. Talking to a critter actually helps at times. But take the shot while you have the chance
