Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken down near the spillway in Dayton Ohio. The name is Deeds Park.Time
It was early mourning, around 9:00am, on a cold day!Lighting
I always try to make sure the sun is towards my back, or at a 45% towards my subject! trying to light up the eyes!Equipment
I have a Canon 50D, and used a Tamron 200-500mm lens! I mount this on a Manfrotto monopod!Inspiration
I was actually headed down to the spillway to capture the water and snow falling over the Spillway, but spotted two Yellow Tail Flickers playing in a nearby tree! Couldn't resist the opportunity!Editing
I converted the photo from Raw photo to JPG, and enhanced a little in Canon Photo professionalIn my camera bag
I have my Canon 50D, standard lens, 100mm canon macro lens, and a long range lens 200-500mm Tamron. carry wipes for the lens, including a soft brush to gently wipe off dust. A flash unit. Usually a snack and drink!Feedback
Be Patient, and be ready because you never know when an opportunity for a cool shot pops up! Birds often follow the same patterns, so scope out some good areas. The less populated the better!
