Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in a small area on the University of Central Florida near the Student. There lies a small 1 acre forest area which host wildlife. I saw this woodpecker there one day after a photo shoot and took this shot.

Time

This was about 2:00 in the afternoon

Lighting

There was no special lighting used on this photo, just natural sunlight.

Equipment

I used a Canon 5Dmark II

Inspiration

I always like taking photos of wildlife and nature.

Editing

The only thing I did to this photo was crop it. I usually don't like to crop any of my photos but this seemed appropriate.

In my camera bag

Canon, nikon cameras

Feedback

When shooting wildlife I have found to be very quiet, and use a good zoom or telephoto lens and watch your focus. I use manual focus for this photo.
