Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken on a backyard bird feeder. There had just been a late November snow and the birds were ready to dine

Time

The photo was taken around 3:00pm. The sun goes down pretty early in the late fall and winter months. This would be considered evening lighting

Lighting

-

Equipment

I use a Nikon D3400 with a 70-300 zoom lens. I also use a Polaroid unipod. It is light weight, easy to maneuver and helps hold the camera still during the chill of the fall and winter months

Inspiration

Blue Jays are such beautiful birds. I wanted to show that this bird is just as beautiful on a back yard bird feeder as it is perched on a fence.

Editing

I use Adobe Lightroom for post processing. It helps with adjusting my exposure and cropping

In my camera bag

I normally just carry my camera, a wide angle kit lens 50-70, a zoom lens 70-300, and plenty of memory cards.

Feedback

Patients is the best way to get action bird shots. You may sit for a long time before you get the shot that you love
