Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in my yard in Upstate,NY. I am a self taught photographer who has just recently opened up my own photography business.

Time

I remember taking this photo on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I was sitting outside in my gazebo and seen this sweet bird sitting outside of it's house. It was looking up at it's babies in the house. I took this picture hand held.

Lighting

This was taken using all natural sunlight. The sun was behind me and shining just right onto this gorgeous blue bird.

Equipment

This was shot on a nikon coolpix p900. No tripod or flash used.

Inspiration

I was inspired to take this photo for my love of animals. I was also learning my camera at the time and learning my shutter speed.

Editing

The only post processing i did for this image was adjusting my white balance.

In my camera bag

In my camera bag i usually carry my Nikon coolpix p1000, my speedlight, estra batteries for my camera and speedlight. I also have filters in my bag at all times.

Feedback

My only advice for shooting a similar image is take your time.
