Behind The Lens

Location

I took the photo in Aruba, Dutch Caribbean in my backyard, I am an amateur photographer.

Time

I have been watching the owls for a few days, and prepared everything to take a few shots, I took the photo on October, 7 at 11.45 am

Lighting

it was almost noon, so I did not need no flashlight.

Equipment

My camera is a Nikon D7000, and I did use a tripod

Inspiration

I am a nature lover, and with Covid going on, quarantine, lockdown, I decided to take pictures to clear my mind.

Editing

The only thing I did was to put my name on the picture

In my camera bag

just my camera

Feedback

It requires a lot of patience to take good nature pictures, if the animals are moving, to get the perfect shot.
