Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at a raptor fest in St. Petersburg, Florida. Interestingly, it was selected as the official poster and brochure photo for Earth Day.Time
The photo was taken in the late morning.Lighting
The skies had a very special coloration that morning making for a great backdrop for this shot.Equipment
The photo was shot with a Canon 7D Mark II with a Canon 100-400 mm L lens handheld.Inspiration
My favorite photo subject is raptors and of the raptors, my favorite is owls, and my favorite way of capturing them is when I am lucky enough to capture on in flight.Editing
Simply converting from RAW to JPEG and adjusting the exposure.In my camera bag
Nowadays, I carry a Sony A9II with a Sony 100-400 GM lens - the combination is highly favored by nature pros and pros who shoot action such as sports. The combo makes it ridiculously easy to capture a fast moving subject and hold it in focus for crisp shots.Feedback
I always carry my camera ready for action - typically set at 1/2000th of a second to capture those sudden unexpected opportunities to photography fast moving subjects. If I want a still shot, I can quickly switch my camera from M to A mode which is set for optimal still photos for the lighting in which I am shooting.
