Location

This picture was taken in Milan on my balcony through the window glass.

Time

This photo was taken in April in the morning after a rainy night that forced this little one to take refuge on my balcony

Lighting

only natural light with cloudy sky

Equipment

nikon 7100, and nikkor afs VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6 IF-ED for this shoot no Tripod

Inspiration

I was surprised that this little "ball" of feathers in the rain remained motionless the entire time as I shot through the glass about a meter away.

Editing

normal adjustments slightly increased shadows reduced contrast increased white and lightened shadows to increase image definition and reduce the "washed out" effect due to the glass separating me from the subject.

In my camera bag

my backpack contains over nikon 7100, a sigma macro 105, a nikon 50 1.8 a nikon 16/85 3.5, and a 70/300 3.5/5.6 zoom lens

Feedback

always have your camera ready at hand!
