Behind The Lens

Location

I took this cuteness picture at my happy place Anahuac Wildlife Preserve in Anahuac TX

Time

It was a sunset when all birds and people are coming back home. This couple Caracara is happy to be reunited at their favorite tree and preening each other with lot of love

Lighting

I spent all my day in this Natural park and when the sun goes down, on this part of the national preserve, this couple Crested Caracara are facing the sun. I wasn't sure it will give a proper light that I had tried to capture with their love but the result was outstanding. Just needed to remove the noise and the picture as perfect like it is

Equipment

I mostly do my picture by hand. I shoot with my Camera 7d mark II with a 150/600 lens Sigma C

Inspiration

I'm in love of Raptors in general and I just wanted to add some romantism on this scenery. Those beautiful Crested Caracara with the last ray of the sunset color on them

Editing

All my pictures are in RAW size so first I upload them on my LIghtroom then I denoise them on the app DeNoise

In my camera bag

When I go for walk I use only my Canon 7d mark II body with my Sigma C 150-600. Sometimes I bring my tripod other I do everything by arm raised

Feedback

Only patience and quiet is the clue to be a wildlife photographer, after having a good gear is the most and be at the right place at the right moment :)
