Location
This photo was taken from a balcony at our new home. I was shooting the Blue Jays on the platform feeder around 10:00 am. The Blue Jays were very hungry and were getting in scuffles on the feeder. These two had an argument on the feeder and then took the argument up into the air above the feeder.Time
I took this around 10:00 am on on 12/23/20.Lighting
It was sunny and the lighting was beautiful.Equipment
This was shot with a Nikon D500 camera with my Nikon 500mm 5.6 pf lens. I was set up on my tripod.Inspiration
I just love taking photos of birds and other wildlife.Editing
This is not require much post-processing. I did crop it a bit.In my camera bag
I always take my Nikon D500 along with my Nikon 500mm 5.6 pf lens on a Wimberly Gimbal monopod head on my monopod .Feedback
Patience is the best advice. I always wait to see what is going to happen and then I wait longer and have had great success in capturing especially birds and other wild life in a more interesting way.
