This photo was taken on a day with birds, I just fell for his expression. I had a new telephoto lens to get to grips with and hoped it would turn out well as I love my feathered friends and you only get one chance!Time
It would have been in late morning as we started early with the birds, it wasn't an especially hot day...so the flew well for us.Lighting
Sadly no, just outdoors and keep the sun where you can to make the best of the shot.Equipment
Nikon camera, no tripod as they moved about so quickly, Nikor telehoto lens.Inspiration
I just wanted to get a shot I would look back on and love, I didn't realise till I saw it on my laptop how much I loved his colours and cool stare!Editing
Cropped to make the face more enigmatic, and levels adjusted slightlyIn my camera bag
My camera, which ever lens I need, spare batteries and spare memory cards...Feedback
Patience but speed too...just go for it!
