Behind The Lens

Location

A local hiking trail in Utah.

Time

5pm-ish. Give or take a few hours.

Lighting

The lighting wasn't too bad, it was taken around 5-ish, which is typically the golden hour of picture taking.

Equipment

I shot it with the bird setting on a Nikon Coolpix l840.

Inspiration

One day me and my mom decided to go on a hike a few miles from our house, and I had recently gotten a new camera and wanted to test it out. So I brought it along, and half way up the trail I turned and saw this beautiful blue bird sitting on a post that was used to mark the trail. I really liked birds, so I took the picture.

Editing

All that I did was apply a black and white filter to the image.

In my camera bag

Typically just the camera and a small tripod that is too small to really be of any help.

Feedback

Just take pictures. You take enough, you'll get at least one good one.
