Behind The Lens

Location

That cute little guy was photographed on the deck at my home.

Time

I had had my camera out, wanting to capture something unique. After waiting almost all day, this critter ran onto my deck right before I sat down to dinner.

Lighting

The coolest thing about the lighting for this photo was the time of day it was taken. Later in the day at that “sweet spot!”

Equipment

This shot was done with a Canon Rebel T3.

Inspiration

My inspiration for this photo was actually a no brainer. Bird seed filled cheeks on my deck. That’s it!

Editing

Not much post-processing for this photo. Just a bit of color enhancement and clarity.

In my camera bag

My bag is always equipped with several lenses, an external flash and extra batteries.

Feedback

The best advice I could give for anyone wanting to capture small (and fast) wildlife would be to have patience and don’t get discouraged. It’ll happen :)
