Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken from my garden.

Time

On a Sunday at about 11.00. The kites would virtually turn up on the minute looking for food

Lighting

Bit overcast that day, so exposed on the bird.

Equipment

Canon EOS7 with an L series 100-400

Inspiration

I love all birds of prey

Editing

Reduced exposure on the sky. Increased contrast for a bit more detail on the feathers.

In my camera bag

Canon Eos 7 MK2, L series 100-400, L series 24-70, 70-200. Monopod, spare camera body.
