Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at the Deering Estate in Miami, FL. This pelican was sitting on a pole near the dock and was super close to me, so I just had to snap him.

Time

This was taken right after Christmas in the afternoon, as I was visiting my brother for the holiday.

Lighting

I just love black and white and find that the clear Miami blue sky gives me some awesome black and white shots

Equipment

I am still a beginner and learning the craft so I use a canon T7i.

Inspiration

Living in the middle of the country, I live for any opportunity to not only be near the ocean but to be able to snap wildlife photos of animals I never get to see near home

Editing

I cropped the photo a bit and adjusted the contrast and exposure

In my camera bag

I love my nifty 50 lens. I use that all the time because I love to be close

Feedback

I am a fan of shoot, shoot, shoot. It's the best way I learn.
