Location
I took the photo in Arthur’s Pass New Zealand. I lived there for about 3 years and often had the Kea visit my back yard. The Kea is the worlds only Alpine Parrot. They are very smart.Time
Would of taken this in the afternoonLighting
I only use natural lighting in my nature photographyEquipment
Used my Canon 1100DInspiration
I enjoy the challenge of taking photos of birds as they never stand still and you can not tell them how to pose.Editing
I keep all my photos as natural as possibleIn my camera bag
Just have my Canon 1100D, standard lens and a zoom to 300Feedback
Have good natural lighting, be patient and take many photos. Also use manual focus, auto does not turn out well.
