Behind The Lens

Location

Bearizona in Williams, AZ.

Time

It was around 2pm. It's very beautiful and there are lots of trees to shade the area.

Lighting

It was all natural light. I love using natural light. The area was shaded by huge pine trees with sunlight seeking through. It was beautiful.

Equipment

I used my Canon Mark IV and my 70-200mm lens.

Inspiration

I have always wanted a great photo of a fox. When I arrived at the fox enclosure Stitch was sitting on a rock just waiting for me posing. He made sure I got all his good sides and looked right at me. I spent probably 30 mins with him, I didn't want to leave.

Editing

I put all my photos through Lightroom. I adjust the settings, white balance if needed. I did soften and blur the background a little to make Stitch pop. I also cropped it so it would just be his cute little mug.

In my camera bag

My bag typically weighs about 30 lbs. I have My Canon Mark III and Mark IV. My lens include a Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lens, Canon EF 200-400mm f/4L IS USM, Canon EF 17-40mm F/4.0 lens, Tamron AF 90mmF/2.8 Macro lens, C Canon 85mm f/1.8 lens, Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens, Sigma 24mm f/1.4 lens (which I think is probably my favorite lens at the moment), Canon 270EX II speedlite & a tool kit with cleaning supplies. I always have extra batteries & CF cards on hand and a tripod and monopod in the car. You never know what you're going to run into.

Feedback

Patience, patience, patience!! Don't be in a hurry and stay calm. I have scared plenty of animals cause I get SO excited. Make sure your settings are set properly for the situation, your batteries are charged & you have a card in the camera, I have learned from my mistakes. I rapid shoot so I don't miss anything. Animals are so unpredictable and you have to be ready for anything.
