Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken whilst driving through Woburn Safari Park, It was really a case of point and shoot as they looked settled for the duration, it was more luck that they were all huddled in a group.

Time

I think it was mid afternoon on a cloudy temperate July day

Lighting

Thye light was pretty flat on the day with plenty of cloud making the shadows soft to non-existent

Equipment

This was taken on my first upgraded camera I started off with an entry level Nikon D3000 and soon realised that I needed more advanced features on my camera and opted for the Nikon D5300 with a 70- 300 mm lens. as I was in my car I had to go hand held

Inspiration

I like taking pictures of animals you don't see on a day to day basisi, this shot just seemed to scream "if you want a photo we're going to make it difficult for you". they were quite a way off the road so was at the limit of my lenses zoom range

Editing

This picture was before my adventure into Photoshop and Lightroom so is pretty much as it was out of the camera

In my camera bag

I'm contemplating getting a Nikon D750 shortly, I also need to update my tripod as it had a nasty accident, so at the moment my bag is pretty much a Nikon D5600 with a Sigma 105mm lens a Nikon 50mm, 18-140mm some grad and ND filters

Feedback

This was really a quick snapshot, I have found at times that the shots where you see, point and shoot can turn out better than you would expect and better than if you plan and prepare for
