Location
I took this picture in Magadino, a wetland of national importance where over 200 different species of birds can be seen.Time
this photo was taken in the early afternoon, just before the afternoon break that herons usually do.Lighting
Too much direct sunlight is difficult to handle. This picture was taken with the sky rather overcast.Equipment

Nature photography is my absolute favorite. It forces you to take an interest in the subjects you want to portray. You learn a lot, and sometimes you bring home beautiful images...Editing
I prefer to keep post-production to a minimum. Adjust exposure, color and white balance to make it as faithful as possible to the time it was taken.In my camera bag
Too many times I've been out in the field without the lens I needed, so I try to carry... everything! My Canon 7Dii is always ready with a telephoto lens. The Canon 6D mounts the 16-35 for landscape photography and sometimes the 50mm. I also carry an alpha 7ii sony with an old Minolta macro lens.Feedback
Study ways to make yourself invisible in nature. Be patient, accept that sometimes you can wait hours for nothing, and try to enjoy the moments in nature without necessarily looking for the perfect shot.
