Location
I took this photo at my own home in Australia, we have a creek that runs on the front of our property that is a perfect location for photos.Time
It was around 4:30pm on a semi over cast day, my favourite time of day for shooting, the light is always even and the colours pop moreLighting
I used no artificial lighting for this pic, it was all taken with the natural light of the afternoon.Equipment
For this shot I used my Canon 7D Mark II with a Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens,Inspiration
We recently hatched ducklings and I wanted to get a cute group photo before they all went to their new homes. These ducklings are barely 24hrs old in this pic. I love taking photos of animals trying to capture their beauty and personality in the image.Editing
Very minimal editing for this pic, it was shot as a raw file and only minimalistic editing was done using adobe camera rawIn my camera bag
I usually have my Canon 7D Mark II, Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 lens, Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens, 100mm f/2.8 Macro lens, CPL lens filter,Feedback
For a shot like this, or any shot with animals is patience, watching for the right moment. For all animals and wildlife, try to go eye level to them, especially when the animal or subject is really small. Another tip, take lots of shots, over shoot, you'll get a variety of shots to chose from as animals are always in motion.
