Location
I took this photo at wetland close to my house. I visit the place every morning, it doesn't cease to surprise me.Time
I took this photo around 9 am. The wetland is very quiet, except for Canada Geese screaming at each other.Lighting
It was a bit cloudy, which gave a blanket of soft light.Equipment
I shot this photo handheld.Inspiration
I love nature, especially wildlife. I like to study their behavior. One thing I have learned from birds, they extremely intelligent! They are also alert all the time!Editing
My post processing is very limited, i try my best to get the shot right from the start. I adjust exposure, a 20 percent softening. That's pretty much it!In my camera bag
My camera and lens setup, Canon 7d mk ii+Sigma 150150-600mm contemporary.Feedback
Patience is the name of the game! Follow the direction of light to avoid the use of a flash. I understand sometimes it is difficult, but it is doable.
