Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Picnic Point, The Entrance NSW. It was taken right next to the boat ramp where the local fisherman clean their catch. Hence the open beaks.

Time

This was taken late afternoon and I love this time of day because you can guarantee the pelicans will be around. They know its feeding time.

Lighting

Nothing fancy with the lighting here, just a clear sunny day.

Equipment

This was shot on my Nikon CoolpixP510 ISO 400 f5/9 1/640 180.00mm

Inspiration

The pelicans are fascinating birds and I just love observing and catching their social behaviour.

Editing

The only thing I did with this photo was a bit of cropping as I wanted to emphasis the open beaks.

In my camera bag

I always carry a small tripod as nd lens cloth as well as a small digital camera that can fit in my pocket as well as my Nikon.

Feedback

Timing to ensure your present when the fisherman come in is really all you need to do. The pelicans do the rest for you.
