Behind The Lens

Location

At Lovech Zoo in Bulgaria

Time

End of the afternoon

Lighting

There was too much sun, so I had to darken the exposure with 1 full stop

Equipment

Canon 6D with Canon 100-400 lens. No tripod, no flash. The circumstances in the Zoo do not allow you to use those, because you need a quick response on situations

Inspiration

The beauty of the animal

Editing

I shoot everything in raw, so I played with the white balance and contrast. I NEVER use Photoshop - do not believe in that!

In my camera bag

I shoot a lot of animals, because I am a voluntary photographer for Four Paws Bulgaria - they take good care of the stray animals in Sofia - and also for Sofia ZOO. When I shoot animals, my Canon 6D is in my bag, together with a Canon 24-105 lens, a Canon 8-15 Fish Eye lens, and, most important, my Canon 100-400 lens, because animals are either scared or too far away.

Feedback

Always be ready to shoot the unexpected and do not be afraid of any situation. And more important: do not think that you shoot something that has been done dozens of times already, because you never know!
