Location
Kruger Park,South Africa.Time
16.09 pm on 12th September 2015.Lighting
Good light but not too bright. it was late afternoon.Equipment
Nikon D7100 and a Nikon F4 300 mm lens on a monopod.Inspiration
The colours of the bird are stunning.Editing
I'm not into doing loads of post process but i used lightroom which is enough to deal with any high ISO that you get and the associated noise!!!.Basic adjustments of contrast,Highlights,saturation ,shadows and sharpening.In my camera bag
I normally have my Nikon F4 300 mm, F5.6 200-500 mm(my go to lens) and a Nikon 3.5-5.6 18-200 mm ( for landscapes). A D750 and a D7100 body.Feedback
If you do the hours on safari you will get the results. Be ready to capture the moment.
