Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Linthicum, MD. I was watching their activity and seemed to be very playful. I happened to catch this shot by just watching their behavior and hoping to get a great shot.

Time

I took this photo in the afternoon, when Cedar Waxwings seem to be the most active. They are very playful and entertaining birds.

Lighting

The bright background of the sky helped a lot. The sun was behind me so it helped with the color pop of the birds.

Equipment

I used a Nikon D5500 with a 70-300mm lens.

Inspiration

I love birding and photography of birds. I take many shots hoping to get some nice action shots.

Editing

I cropped this photo to help zoom in on these two.

In my camera bag

Just my camera and two lenses. My 35-60mm and 70-300mm lens. Also, I always have binoculars. Birds can be tricky to spot!

Feedback

Just be patient. Wait for the birds to “perform” lol
