Seafoam door and wall behind plants at an abandoned mall

Sat down next to this goose to get a closeup and it stood on one leg and posed for me. Geese may be grumpy, but they sure are cute

Wandering through an abandoned mall outside of Cleveland, OH, I saw a closed store entry with a mountain scene, which looked perfect with the emptines

Behind The Lens

Location

Took this photo while walking through the Delano district in Wichita, KS

Time

Around 5PM

Lighting

Taking photos of various buildings and happened to look up and see this pretty bird

Equipment

Canon 90D and a Canon EF-S 55-250mm lens

Inspiration

I have always loved capturing birds with my camera. They are small, elusive, and sometimes tough to capture due to high angle and lighting constraints. Brightly colored birds are an extra treat to the eyes and lens

Editing

Cropped, adjusted lighting and color toning in Lightroom

In my camera bag

My Canon 90D, EF-S 55-250mm lens, EF-S 18-135mm USM lens, lens hoods, light scoop, and removable flash.

Feedback

Don’t forget to look up! You’ll see all sorts of beauty by looking around you, but you’ll miss lots of pretty birds if you don’t look up!
