Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in the desert of the Sierra Nevada. I'm still not sure if it is a crow, it can also be a raven, it's hard to tell the difference.

Time

It was about noon that we stopped for a moment to eat our sandwiches and have some coffee. This bird suddenly appeared and was all alone. When we moved on, he flew immediately to the place we were, looking for the crumbs we left for him.

Lighting

The sun stood high up in the sky, so there were hardly any shadows.

Equipment

My old Olympus camera C740UZ.

Inspiration

It was, beside us, the only living creature in the desert at that moment, which is of course inviting to photograph.

Editing

A bit cropping.
