Thanks so much! It made me giggle when I saw his expression but I still felt bad for him.

Location
This photo was captured in a local drive-in wildlife reserve in Apopka, Florida.Time
I caught this scene in the morning, right around brunch time appropriately!Lighting
Nothing special, typical sunny morning in Florida.Equipment
I shot this handheld with the Nikon D700 and the Sigma 150-600 C, UV filter.Inspiration
This wildlife drive is excellent for viewing the circle of life from birds up to top predators including alligators. It’s always a fascinating drive and very relaxing for me to see nature largely undisturbed.Editing
No post processing needed other than a bit of cropping and toning highlights down for the feather details.In my camera bag
For this outing I always have the D700 with the Sigma 150-600 and the D750 with Nikon 24-70, the Peak Design tripod, lots of cards and at least one extra battery of each type because the bodies are gripped so essentially there’s already a backup installed.Feedback
Research local wildlife for types and habits. Keep your eyes open and camera at the ready! Shoot RAW on continuous to catch the action. Double check settings before leaving home, nothing more frustrating than low light settings in a bright light situation!
