Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photograph in my garden.

Time

We get a variety of birds in the garden, we have a few feeders about so depending on their position we tend to attract different birds. The Chaffinch generally arrive and leave in pairs, sometimes they feed together sometimes not. This male was a few feet away from his mate at the time which was taken at 10:17 in the morning.

Lighting

Taken in ordinary daylight really, taken in the morning ( 10:17) in February so not that warm so the birds were looking for any winter morsels.

Equipment

Canon EOS 1200D, 75-300mm Canon zoom lens

Inspiration

Just love the colours of these little garden birds

Editing

Slight fixing of clarity of colours but nothing else

In my camera bag

Camera plus a 75-300mm zoom lens, a wide angle lens and a standard 18-55mm lens, plus lots of spare fully charged batteries

Feedback

Patience above all will win the prize photo in the end, patience is a virtue.
