Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken in my backyard near an old dead tree. I'm just starting out with the bird photography, but I'm really enjoying it,Time
I took this photo mid morning I had just walked outside and there he was. I was pretty lucky, he just waited to to have his portrait taken.Lighting
I always try to have the sun to my back when I photograph birds, It gives them a nice catch light.Equipment
I shot this with a Nikon D500 and a 200-500mm 5.6 lensInspiration
It was a nice morning and the birds were very active in the backyard so I grabbed the camera and headed out.Editing
I do very little post work, mostly just cropping and a little contrast.In my camera bag
My go to is a Nikon D600 and a 70-200 I just love that combo. Lately I've been shooting a lot of film so I grab my Nikon F5 and a 50mm 1.4Feedback
Patience is key. Photographers don't show all the misses it took to get that one good one!
