Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Laureton on the NSW mid North Coast. It was taken from a boat where we were in the process of spreading my wife's mothers ashes.

Time

It was around midday and around 10 people from the family were gathered on the boat. I noticed the eagle circling in the air. I had my camera to take some shots for the family as it's not often all are together. I noticed the eagle start to defend and just followed it hopeing to get a close shot of it flying by. To my surprise it swooped down and caught the fish. I just happenned to be in the right spot at the right time.

Lighting

I was lucky it was a fairly clear day. No real problems with lighting . I was lucky again the sun was not a problem

Equipment

Canon 50D camera with a 18 to 135mm lenses. Hand held

Inspiration

I've always l ok e taking photos of birds

Editing

No post processing

In my camera bag

I have recently changed to a Canon 90D. I carry 18/135 , 10/24 and a 600mm lens. I also like taking surfing shots. My wife and I travel a fair bit so the shots I take vary from travel,wildlife to surfing. So I really don't follow one variety of photography.

Feedback

I would just say enjoy your photography. Everyone has a different taste in photos what you like won't necessarily be to everyone's liking but I take photos for enjoyment not commercial gain.
