Behind The Lens

Location

This is photographed in Osman Sagar Lake, Hyderabad, India.

Time

It's a handheld photograph shoot from inside my car where the kestrel is busy hunting its prey. It was photographed at 4.30PM IST in March 2020.

Lighting

I took this photograph in the evening light. My intention was to show its take-off from the back side to show its majestic upper feathers.

Equipment

Nikon D5 with Nikkor 600MM lens. Handheld. Shoot inside my car.

Inspiration

I took this photograph in the evening light. My intention was to show its take-off from the back side to show its majestic upper feathers.

Editing

Basic photo editing. No major post processing required as the light is perfect.

In my camera bag

I am primarily a bird photographer. I always carry Nikon D5, D500 bodies with Nikkor 600mm f4 lens. I also use 1.4X TC, which I use it regularly if the subject is far.

Feedback

Try to imagine a frame in mind before you start clicking. My intention was to show the take-off of this kestrel from it's back so that I can show it's top feathers.
