Behind The Lens

Location

This image is part of a series of duck photos I took visiting an enchanting german lake.

Time

It was taken on May 22, 2018 at 8.42 AM.

Lighting

That day the sun was very cooperative, so I could take advantage of fantastic natural lighting conditions.

Equipment

I used a Canon EOS 7D with a 70-200mm f/4L lens, no flash, no tripod.

Inspiration

I love ducks. I wanted to share the beauty of the male Wood duck, obviously a very special pearl of Mother Nature.

Editing

All I did was a slight crop.

In my camera bag

A Canon EOS 7D, a Casio EX-FH20, different lenses and a tripod.

Feedback

If the subject of desire is an animal it is always good to know it's behaviour. The rest is patience, patience, patience.
