Location
FaFa Island near Tongapatu, Tonga.Time
This was two hours before sunset when they begin to wake for the night's flying for food.Lighting
It is a nice daylight shot that I didn't need to do much with.Equipment
Sony RX10IV with zoom. No flash needed. No filter.Inspiration
I had heard that there was a flying fox tree on the island and I had never seen one before and was intrigued. They are much cuter than I thought. I am glad they only eat plants and fruit!Editing
When I PP, i usually use basics. I don't like to go overboard. I just clean it up a bit, clarity and basic sliders.In my camera bag
These days I am shooting only with Sony. My bridge camera was what I used here since it is a great little all-around camera with a 35-600mm zoom. I use Sony A6300 with an Ikelite housing for underwater and I have a Sony A7riii that I just purchased.Feedback
I stood right under this lil guy. I tried other angles but ultimately liked this one the best.
