Location
The photo was taken in a small lake in a park in Lisbon.Time
This was taken at Jul 2, 2007 at 12:04:26 PM. Not a great time of the day because of the direct sun light but there where some trees who created some good shadows and made it possible to do this shot.Lighting
Because of the time of the day I was shooting the sun light was very direct and strong so I had to search a place with some good shadow and reflections to be able to shoot it properly.Equipment
This was shot on a Canon 400 D with an 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM. No other equipment was involved.Inspiration
I love wildlife and little ducklings are so cute, I knew that there where newly born duckling in the lake so I had to go there and catch them with my camera!Editing
Just the normal processing, levels, contrast and saturation and a bit of HDR.In my camera bag
Now I have a Canon 30D, a Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM, a Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM, a Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS USM and a MTL 9251B Giottos Tripod.Feedback
Just beware with the light, chose your spot very carefully and have a lot of patience so that the ducklings get used to you and get near enough for you to be able to shoot them close.
