Location
This photo was taken at The base of Morrow Mountain State Park on Badin Lake. I just happened to be at the right place at the right time for this shot.Time
We normally ride up to this state park to photograph deer in the wild. After several hours of riding through the park scouting out deer, we stopped by the lake about an hour prior to sunset to catch is beautiful blue heron just perched in shallow water.Lighting
I always find natural light to be best when shooting wildlife. Flashes can’t be harsh and frightening to the animals.Equipment
I shot this photo with my Canon Rebel T3. I didn’t take the time to set up my tripod for fear the heron would fly off.Inspiration
Herons have always seemed so majestic and I’ve always been drawn to them than any other bird in photography.Editing
I only cropped this photo, there was no need for post processing. The quality came out perfectly straight out of the camera.In my camera bag
I always carry two Canon bodies, several Tamron lenses and a Leica.Feedback
This photo was just being at the right place at the right time. My advice is to scope out your surroundings and be patient in wildlife photography. Happy shooting!
