I took this shot at 15.53 pm on 26th August 2017.Lighting
It was a sunny afternoon and the light was perfect.Equipment
A Nikon D750 with a Nikon F5.6 200-500mm lens ,a monopod .Inspiration
A love of capturing the moment in wildlife.Editing
I'm not into doing loads of post process but i used lightroom This shot was not cropped at all.Basic adjustments of contrast,Highlights,saturation ,shadows and sharpening.No objects removed or added to the image.In my camera bag
I normally have my Nikon F4 300 mm, F5.6 200-500 mm(my go to lens) and a Nikon 3.5-5.6 18-200 mm ( for landscapes). A D750 and a D7100 body. A monopod and Rain cape.Feedback
Be patient and ready to capture the moment. Wildlife does not wait for you and you will need a lot of patience and the difference between a great shot and also ran picture can be a few seconds.
