Behind The Lens

Location

Picture taken at Cape St. Mary’s Newfoundland Canada

Time

It was taken in the afternoon around 1:00 pm

Lighting

It had been cloudy with low lying fog but the windy conditions cleared the sky.

Equipment

Canon DSLR and a Sigma 600mm image stablized lens. Picture was hand held so I could get close to the cliff edge.

Inspiration

Cape St Mary’s Is a ecological reserve. The cliffs are white with nesting sea birds. 10’s of thousands of birds come every year to nest, it’s an amazing site to see.

Editing

I use Lightroom and Adobe CC

In my camera bag

My camera bag is a Lowepro supertrecker but has become too heavy for extended hiking. So I take a smaller bag and pack what I figure I need.

Feedback

Be patient. I usually find a good vantage point and just watch the birds. With camera in hand so I can quickly capture an interesting moment. Know your gear, a few test shots to get going. If your using a super telephoto use IS and make sure distance settings are correct so you don’t miss a shot.
