Behind The Lens

Location

Napa Valley, California.

Time

Early evening, about 6PM.

Lighting

Lighting was at dusk.

Equipment

Hand held, Nikon D600, Lens 80-400 f4.5-5.6, 1/1000 sec, 400mm, ISO 2800. No flash was used.

Inspiration

I enjoy photographing hummingbirds. They are a challenge due to their speed. Very beautiful birds up close.

Editing

Yes, I use adobe lightroom. I used clarity, sharpenning, contrast, etc...

In my camera bag

Nikon D750, D600, with the following lenses: f2.8 24-70, f2.8 35mm and f4.5-5.6 80-400.

Feedback

Patience, first of all, followed by studying the birds' habits.
