Behind The Lens

Location

Tiruchirappalli, Tamil Nadu, India.

Time

Morning 8.26 am 10/28/2017

Lighting

It's just another bird watching day photograph, but the special thing with this pic. This was the first time I was closer to this bird. I haven't had a chance this closer. When I was taking this shot, this bird flew away and returned to the same branch to perch with this bee catch.

Equipment

Nikon D7100 + Nikkor 200-500mm No filter not even Polaroid, No tripod used, handheld shot.

Inspiration

I love watching bird's behavior :)

Editing

I just enhanced this image a little bit Adjustments like brightness, contrast, sharpening, noise reduction, vibrance.

In my camera bag

Camera, lens, tripod, lens cleaning kit, Drinking water ;)

Feedback

Birds are so sensitive. You have to sneak peek. They fly away if they see like you are getting closer. So try to get closer when they look around, rather than while they are looking at you :) Camouflage is better for bird photography, But I don't have one :)
