Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken from a window in my home.

Time

It was taken in the evening.

Lighting

Nothing great about the lighting. It was getting late in the day, but I was so desperate to shoot. I've been babysitting my grandson and had to find a way to shoot while babysitting.

Equipment

This was shot handheld with with Canon 1DX. Not long ago, I purchased this older model when my other camera stopped workinf.

Inspiration

I love birds.

Editing

The photo is grainy because it was getting dark outside. I lightened it a bit and tried to smooth some of the grain. I try to keep things as natural as possible. I've never caught a bird with it's wings open like this before.

In my camera bag

I normally keep a flash, extra memory cards, and my battery charger in my bag.

Feedback

Patience!
