Location

the photo was taken at my local loch in De-Villa forest

Time

it was taken around 9am on a overcast day

Lighting

the day was overcast so no strong sun l found to be the perfect day as there were no shadows on the subject

Equipment

l used a Canon 7D mark lV with a sigma sports 150-600 mm lens mounted on a monopod

Inspiration

it was the spur of the moment shot as l was waiting for my target bird to make an appearance there was a flock of them just suddenly appeared and gave me the opportunity to capture this photo

Editing

l lightened it and a touch of clarity and also a touch of de-fog in photoshop there was not much else needed doing to it

In my camera bag

l have my two Canon cameras the 7D mark Il which use mainly for wildlife and the 5D mark of for my landscape and micro shots , the lenses include canon MIcro lens EF 100mm 1:2.8L IS USM, Canon EF 24-105 1.4L IS II USM and my work horse the Sigma 150-600mm sports 1:5-6.3 DG lens

Feedback

not much to say just be aware of what goes on around you be patient let the shot come to you try not to make any sudden movements or loud noises and enjoy your photography
