Location
I was touring the back roads if Stayner and drove down a dead end road to find this beautiful girl hunting in a winter wheat field at the very end.Time
If I remember correctly it was around 9:30 am.Lighting
Natural sunlight was from the east with nice reflected light from the snow.Equipment
Canon 70D, Sigma 150-600 mmInspiration
I have a huge passion for these beautiful birds and look forward to seeing them every winter. Sometimes I don't even shoot them I just sit and enjoy the view.Editing
A little sharpening, bring the colour of the eyes out and a little noise reduction.In my camera bag
Batteries, speed light and remote, lens cloth, lenses, cimpass, flashlight, lense extender.Feedback
Know how the subject acts and hunts. Look deep into the fields and hydro poll tops. Pack your patience and lots of it, visit them byt never get too close as to disrupt them and scare them into flight as they need the energy to hunt prey not to flee from photographers.
