Location
This was taken in my mother's garden. Her garden is magical with all the wildlife that frequents it.Time
It was in the afternoon, around 3pm.Lighting
No special lighting just the natural sunlight.Equipment
My camera is a Canon EOS 250D Rebel, my lens was a 75-300mm amd no tripod was used.Inspiration
I haven't seen these birds in a while amd there was this cat meowing and I was looking for our, these birds like to mimic and so I went hunting for the sound and he came into view and landed on the gazing ball and this is 1 of 2 shots I have of him before he flew offEditing
No, post processing, my camera settings are tweaked for photos such as this. No filters were needed, just the natural sunlightIn my camera bag
My bag includes my camera, two lenses, cleaning supplies, snacks, a small water bottle, paper and pen for notes of location and people's names.Feedback
Once you get your settings down, I shoot in aperture mode mostly. I watch my favorite Canon camera photographers videos and get advice from them. But the most important is just practice, practice and practice. And have fun doing it.
