Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at one of the locations in Central Moravia shortly after the spring arrival. European Bee-eaters usually settles together at a time when the sun has not yet warmed the air and therefore insects are not yet flying

Time

I like to take photos at sunrise, and that was the case here as well.

Lighting

No steps were needed to adjust the lighting conditions

Equipment

The photo was taken by nikon D7200+ nikon300/4

Inspiration

My inspiration is simply nature - full of beauty, surprises, amazing photography experiences,...

Editing

There was no need to edit the photo in any unusual way

In my camera bag

My equipment (as with every willife photographer) includes a lot of things - from photo equipment to tripods, camouflage tents, ... to snacks, drinks:-)

Feedback

When I took this photo, at the first moment I had no idea what kind of photo I actually took... and that's exactly what it's about. You never know when you will manage to take a photo that will interest a lot of people, you don't know if you will take it after a carefully and long-term prepared plan...or if it will be a completely random click.
