Exceptional composition and beautiful detail and colors

Thank you Rick! I love the color on this one! I'm new to photography so it means a lot to get wonderful comments like yours.

See all

Same photographer See all Behind The Lens

This was taken at a Bluegrass Festival in Ronceverte WV. The instructor and Master was playing and his 2 year old student joined him on stage

I visited a local rookery and spotted this beautiful creature with full breeding plumage on "display" for all the potential mates.

An old stump covered in beautiful, colorful fungus

We stopped for lunch and these beauties were growing near the side of the road. The brilliant color caught my eye and luckily I had my camera.

Alaska..a desert in the Yukon. Sand and snow!

It took me almost an hour of following this little guy around so he would land long enough for me to get this photo.

Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the boat ramp at the Anclote River Park in Pasco County Florida. I am fairly new to photography so I was thrilled to get this shot.

Time

It was in the early afternoon. I originally went to see if I could find the Eagle's nest when I spotted this beauty by the water.

Lighting

Just a normal beautiful sunshiny day in Florida....no other lighting needed.

Equipment

I shot this with my Canon Rebel T6...no tripod.

Inspiration

I love the color of the legs and feel on this bird! I had never noticed it before but the way the sun was hitting the bird, it was the first thing I noticed. Great combination of blue and green!

Editing

Just did not cropping on this one...nothing else needed.

In my camera bag

I usually go out with my Canon Rebel T6 and my Canon 90D and various lenses....Sigma 18-400 mm, Sigma 150-600 mm, Canon 75-300 mm and Canon 18-55 mm. I also take my Tripod.

Feedback

I am a novice and learning something new every day. Just go out and shoot as many photos as you can and experiment with lenses and camera settings. I shot this in Aperture Priority mode and have found I like that mode.
