Location
Photo was taken at Berrinba Wetlands, about 15 mins driver from my home. It’s a reclaimed man-made lagoon which use to be a sand mining business. Where I go quiet often for a walk.Time
The time was around 10:00 AM, I was watching the Pelicans flying and landing when I spotted this particular one which lookek like it was going to land in front of me. I managed to get the perfect shot at the perfect time.Lighting
Being Mid Morning,The sun was high over the trees with some cloud cover.Equipment
Photo was taken with OLYMPUS E-M5MarkII Aperture: f/8 ISO: 400 Shutter Speed: 1/1000 Focal Length: 300/1Inspiration

Patience is the key to birds in flight. It can take many shots to get the one that is the one you want.
