I went to a butterfly pavilion in Key West and what did I come away with? That's right a shot of a bird. Although I do think with its skill it could go pro as a bird model. What do you think is on this birds mind?

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this in the Key West Butterfly Pavilion in Florida.

Time

This was an incredibly stormy day full of rain and was shot around noon. The roof was made of glass and allowed for soft light to spill down below illuminating this little one.

Lighting

The bird stepped out of the shadows and into the light making the photo really pop. I couldn't believe it knew exactly what to do.

Equipment

For the camera I used my Nikon D750 paired with the 1st gen of the Tamron 70-200 F2.8

Inspiration

The unique features in the birds plumage intrigued me immediately.

Editing

I added local contrast to the bird and dodged as well as burner particular areas. I also adder a little warmth to the picture overall

In my camera bag

Everything! I have turned into a mule because I regret not having brought something along. For filters I use Breakthrough Photography filters including a polarizer and neutral density. I carry my Nikon D7000 and D750 (with grip) with my Tokina 16-28 F2.8, a Tamron 70-200mm F2.8,,Yongnuo 560 IV flash and receiver, and lastly my cable release and my 3-Legged Thing Albert Equinox tripod.

Feedback

Always be on the lookout for a moment. You never know when it will present itself!
