Behind The Lens

Location

This bird was captured in a Mayan Riviera that was an eco-lodge. Definitely wild with even a Mayan ruin on site that had not been dug up or a duplicate. There were many animals (not human type) as well that were not tame in any way.

Time

This picture was taken at 3 PM on a sunny day

Lighting

This Yucatan Jay Bird stood on a branch and looked down upon the guests with a look of superiority and disdain.

Equipment

My trusty Sony DSC-HX400V was used.

Inspiration

The distinct beauty and sharp contrast of colours drew my attention.

Editing

I just sharpened the image slightly.

In my camera bag

With my SONY there is no need for more equipment. I am NOT a professional photographer. As I enjoy travelling all over the world, the integrated GPPS in the camera makes it ideal as it locates me anywhere in this glorious world.

Feedback

Location, location, location.
