Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was shot at the Hummingbird garden in Selvatura Park, Monteverde Cloud Forest in Costa Rica.

Time

It was captured on a very humid cloudy afternoon.

Lighting

The lighting was quite poor and my lens struggled

Equipment

It was a hand held shot taken with a NikonD750 and a Sigma 150/600mm contemporary lens

Inspiration

Couldn’t miss the opportunity to take some photos of these amazing birds in their natural habitat

Editing

Not much just a light touch

In my camera bag

I would normally carry some other lenses ie macro 105mm sigma but only had the equipment mentioned as carrying photographic equipment around in humid rainforest is hard work

Feedback

If you know your subject is going to be close try carrying lighter equipment lol
