Location
I took this in my backyard. I am a self taught photographer and each shot I take I look to see what can I do to make the next one better.Time
This is taken on a Saturday afternoon, one winter. I had my camera set up on my tripod so i could be ready for a good shot. I have my feeders set so I can see them out my living room and kitchen windows.Lighting
Lighting that day way crazy. It looked like a snow storm could be headed in.Equipment
Nikon D5500, 55-200MM telephoto lens. Can’t remember the F stop.Inspiration
I am always looking to photograph birds, any change I get. I love the colors of them and how much fun are they watch and just a treat to have them come to my yard.Editing
Just a little tweak of the lighting.In my camera bag
Nikon D550; Telephoto 55-200mm, 55 mm, macro lens, wide angle lens cleaning kits etc.Feedback
Dawn and dust are the best times to take photos. Take note of your angles and taking in different spot and heights.
