Behind The Lens
Location
We like to go to New Smyrna Beach, Florida for a couple of months each winter (from Ontario, Canada). At the north end of the city is a nature area we call The Dunes. There is a long breakwater along the entrance to the inner waterway. There are always a lot of bird, egrets, pelicans, osprey etc there. I love taking photos of wildlife.Time
This was taking mid afternoon on a bright sunny day in late February 2020. It was probably close to breeding season....Lighting
It was a bright, sunny day.Equipment
I have a Nikon D500. I usually have my Nikon 70-200mm lens on it.Inspiration
I love taking pictures. Wildlife is my favourite subject! Wildlife in action is even better :-)Editing
I always do a bit of post-processing. I usually start with Faststone, then move on to one of the Skylum programs I have.In my camera bag
I have my Nikon D500, a Nikon 16-80, Nikon 70-200, a 2X teleconverter, a 1.4X teleconverter (I use the 2X more, but I bought it not too long ago!), extra batteries, lens cleaning cloth, various lens filters for all lenses (UV, CP etc). Depending on where I'm going, I will also have my tripod.Feedback
Take lots of pictures, especially of moving subjects. With luck you will get a few good ones (at least I do!)
