Behind The Lens

Location

This image was taken from the deck of the Celebration Belle while cruising on the Mississippi River near Clinton, Iowa.

Time

Tfhis image was taken mid-day.

Lighting

The sky was partially overcast.

Equipment

This image was taken with a Nikon D5100 and a Tamron 150-600mm lens.

Inspiration

We were travelling in November and there were a lot of sea birds migrating south along the river.

Editing

A slight contrast adjustment to compensate for the overcast sky was needed.

In my camera bag

The above Nikon and a Canon SX710 HS compact camera.

Feedback

Spend a lot of time outdoors!
