Location
I took this photo at Disney's Animal Kingdom theme park. I have found this to be a fantastic location that is rich in variety of quality photo opportunitiesTime
This photo was taken in the afternoon.Lighting
The overcast skies offered wonderful diffused lighting that really helped the colors and textures popEquipment
This was shot with a Nikon D5600 with a AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lensInspiration
Flamingos are pretty high up on the list of well known birds. This was a great opportunity to get up close and capture the wonderful details of their marvelous feathersEditing
I did minimal post in Lightroom to bring down the highlights just a bit and added just a tad of vibrance. The lighting really helped the camera do its job well.In my camera bag
I pop the AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR lens on and go all day in the park with it. This rig is easy to walk around with all day and provides the range I need for 90 percent of what is available to shoot.Feedback
My flamingo shots never look as good in full sun, so I would say to avoid that if possible. If you catch them just after the rain with water droplets on their feathers that's a special added bonus!
