Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at one of my favorite waterfowl places, Memorial Park in Shakopee, Mn.

Time

This was mid afternoon with a cloudy blue gray sky. The dim lighting actually made the ducks colors stand out more.

Lighting

Don't be discouraged if the weather appears gloomy. Sometimes its sets a nice backdrop for some beautiful colors on your subject.

Equipment

Nikon D3200

Inspiration

I love ducks! I love taking their photos and seeing their vibrant colors and their personalities come out.

Editing

Just tweaked the contrast a bit.

In my camera bag

My Cameras, tripod, filtered lenses and sphere for some fun shots.

Feedback

Animals and birds are unpredictable. Make sure to be ready snap your shot and don't be afraid to linger around a bit. You'll be surprised what photos you can get.
