Behind The Lens

Location

I take this photo at Malaysia- Penang bird park.

Time

This is probably one of my favourite images. I remember the weekend I went back to home town and gathering with my friends, after coffee and chit chat, we have nothing to do and I suggested to go to bird park to have a look, due to the last time I went to bird it was 14 years old high school time. Walking around the bird park, I snap lot of pictures, especially owl pictures. Why this is favourite picture due too all owl they almost open big big eye no matter what time. and I saw this owl is closing eye and sleeping on the tree. I look at it around 15 minutes, he/she still closing eye and sleeping not even any movement, so I shoot this picture. This was taken on 2009 December, 10th at 12:53pm

Lighting

I use natural lighting due to I shoot this picture at 12:53pm under the strong sunlight.

Equipment

I use canon power shot

Inspiration

Myself I love animals, especially owl, they have big eye and they are smart. Some of owl they look fierce, but this owl, look so feminine, pretty and unique, she look like a pretty lady standing quitely.

Editing

I didn't do any post-processing for this photo, due to I have natural strong sunlight that time

In my camera bag

Canon power shot and Iphone 7 always in my bag.

Feedback

Make Sure the Owl Is Relaxed, Don't Bait the Owl. Give Enough Space to the Owl and yourself. Don't Take Your Dog With You. Avoid Using artificial light during your shot, due to owl is outdoor bird, if possible use natural sunlight so it won't frighten the own.
