Location
This photo was taken at home, in Gatineau, QC, Canada. I was watching the action at my bird feeder and was offered this scene from this male House Finch and juvenile!Time
The photo was taken at about 5pm May 17, 2020.Lighting
it was during late afternoon, so plenty of light to capture this photo. I was watching them most of the afternoon.Equipment
For this photo I was using my EOS R and my EF L 100-400mm @400mm the exif are F8, 1/500 sec, ISO 800.Inspiration
The finches were in a feeding frenzy, and I watched this scene, so I got my camera ready and waited for another occasion to hapenned and it did! I got a few shots, this one turn out the best!Editing
There is almost limited post-processing for this photo. Just a bit of adjustment in lightroom and a bit of cropping for composition.In my camera bag
It will depends what will I be photographing! Now I use my 5D mk IV with the 100-400mm and my EOS R with the new RF 800mm. If I do landscape, I will use my 17-40mm and my 24-105. I have a few ND filter from Breaktrough Photography for their excellent quality.Feedback
To be successful in bird photography, you must be present and patient! So go out there observe and take your time, the birds will give you excellent scenes to photograph and it is interesting to observe. A place to find good spots to find where the birds are in your area, check the ebird website, you'll find plenty of information.
