Absolutely love when you’re taking pictures and the subject, the lighting and the camera all cooperate and am able to pull a photo off the camera with little to no post processing. I was taking close up shots of the flamingos beautiful plumage, right as he turned and started to preen. With the perfect background and natural lighting. I knew this would be a keeper right as the shutter clicked the image.
