Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken in the best zoo of Europe: Pairi Daiza located in Brugelette Belgium.

Time

In the morning at 11:30 A.M. inside a building.

Lighting

Ambient light only shot in RAW (of course) so I handled the WB.

Equipment

Nikon D850 with a Nikon AFS 200-500 mm f/5.6 VR @ 500 mm. No Flash, no tripod, handheld.

Inspiration

Standing on one feet, with a dark background in a normal but in this view rather funny position.

Editing

It is cropped from landscape to portrait. The background is a bit darkened, it got a bit more contrast and vibrance and minimal sharpening.

In my camera bag

Nikon D850 (and often a Nikon D800). My favourite: Tamron 70-200 mm f2.8 G2, Nikon AFS 24-70 mm f2.8 or Sigma 50mm f1.4 Art. Sometimes the Nikon AFS 200-500 mm f5.6. I have a tripod or monopod with me, but I seldom use them.

Feedback

Be aware of a good position, so you can use other things (handrail, wall, tree, aso) to stabilise your capture. Have eye for the surrounding. A lot of people focus on the subject and forget that the surrounding is also important and..... take time to make a beautiful composition (with or without a crop). Last but not least try to get a good dynamic range. For most camera's is one stop under- and overexposure no problem, all the information is still there and can be recovered in the post-processing. I check (center weighted metering) always the darkest and brightest parts. My camera is always in M mode.
