Behind The Lens
Location
In my little nook of Simi Valley there’s a tree I always find birds hanging out in and I wanted to try out my new lens and knew I’d find some good shots there.Time
After work In the early evening just after the sun was settingLighting
A nice cloudy day which made the contrast so perfectly pleasing. The sun had just gone down or was about to and the cloud cover made a perfect soft boxEquipment
I used my Nikon d750 with my new tamron 70-200 2.8. No tripod.Inspiration
I like hanging out around those trees as the birds are always there and I figured It’d be a great place to test out my zoom.Editing
No post processing surprisingly as the cloudy sky looked all grey anywaysIn my camera bag
My Nikon D750, my Nikon macro 105 2.8, a 16-35 Nikon and my Tamron 70-200 2.8 and my SB800 and always my lens cleaning kitFeedback
Just going around your own neighborhood with an open mind as if you just visited you’ll end up seeing so much to photograph
