Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in my backyard.

Time

This photo was taken midmorning.

Lighting

I have 2 hummingbird feeders. The hummingbirds often sit on top of the decorative poles, watching for other hummingbirds in tbe area.

Equipment

I use a Nikon D500 with a Nikkor 200-500 lens.

Inspiration

I love sitting on my deck taking pictures of the birds that come to my feeders. The hummingbirds are the hardest to get good pictures of!

Editing

I usually adjust the the light, if needed, and a bit of sharpening.

In my camera bag

My camera bag has my D500 and 3 lenses, 16-80 f2.8, 70-200 f2.8 and 200-500 f5.6, all Nikkor. I also have a 1.4 teleconverter, flash, extra batteries, rain cover, battery grip and various filters.

Feedback

Patience!
