Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was captured outside Lagoon Valley in Vacaville, California. I noticed on the top of the pole as I was walking a beautiful Red-tailed Hawk. I expected it may fly by the time I pull my camera out, it just watched me.

Time

Captured possibly late afternoon 2-3 pm

Lighting

It's natural sunlight during late afternoon

Equipment

Nikon no extra lens, no tripod, no flash.

Inspiration

The Red-Tailed Hawk is one of my favorite.

Editing

I only cropped my photo to bring the Red--Tailed Hawk closer.

In my camera bag

I usually use my Nikon Coolpix L840 Several batteries Extra memory card A cloth

Feedback
