Behind The Lens

Location

Photo was taken at Cortez Florida fishing village at the end of the day.

Time

My wife and I stopped at a small fishing village restaurant to grab a small bite and watch the sun go down. I generally always have my camera and was treated to this lonely Pelican enjoying the peace and quiet.

Lighting

To be honest I did enhance the photo along with the background.

Equipment

I do not recall what camera I had with me that evening - may have been my Samsung NX300 or my Nikon D7000 using a 50-200mm lens.

Inspiration

No inspiration was needed - The Pelican flew in, perched on a piling, and struck a pose. Thank goodness I had my camera with me.

Editing

Yes - some color correction with enhancement to the sky.

In my camera bag

Samsung NX300 Nikon D7000 Go Pro Hero 4 Insta 360 and various lens and filters. Small tripod.

Feedback

Either be very lucky or very patient.
