Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken approximately 500m away from my home. My native place is Srikakulam, Andhra pradesh.I am a guy who is more into the nature. Passionate in Wildlife photography. I started my bird photography in the month of June 2019.

Time

Around 4:30 pm on 30th Aug 2020

Lighting

To become a wildlife photographer the primary thing is to understand the light direction. The light gives marvelous compositions when you set your gears according to the environment,As a enthusiastic bird photographer I want to see the beauty of birds in possible different ways. I grabbed my camera and started walking away from my home. There is pond 500 m away from my house. When I am passing through the pond it was around 4 30 pm. Seeing into the pond I found little egret standing on other side. With my naked eye, I can the sense light falling onto the egret wings which golden reflection. So, I decided to capture the egret with golden hair reflection. Remember you should be calm and patient in bird photography. I had captured more than 1000 pics of egrets and familiar with their behavior. I am having Canon EOS 1500D with 55-250 mm standard zoom lens. Here comes the primary task, Get close to the bird as much as possible without disturbing if not it may fly away. It took me 10 minutes to get close to egret with framing and composition. Once I am in the position started capturing the egrets . For this picture I took approximately 20 shots and now you can the output
