Behind The Lens

Location

Wildlife Refuge close to Wichitah, Kansas

Time

10:00am or so

Lighting

This Tom was strutting his prowess but the hens didn't seem impressed :)

Equipment

Canon EOS 5D MK III with Tamron F/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens

Inspiration

The very beautiful strutting bird was saying "Take my picture" Beautiful feathers that were almost each a work of art on there own!

Editing

Contrast and cropping!

In my camera bag

Canon 5D MK III, Canon 7D MK II, Canon17-40 L, Canon 100/f2.8 LMacro, Tamron F/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD lens!

Feedback

Just keep shooting as you slowly walk toward the bird with no side movement.
