Location
The photograph was taken at Whipsnade Zoo, Bedfordshire. The site has extensive parkland allowing superb settings for photographersTime
The image was taken about 14.40hrsLighting
Normal autumnal day generally overcastEquipment
I use two Nikons, this particular image was with my D5500 and 70-300mm Nikon lens. No flash and handheldInspiration
The Penguins were being very vocal, this one in particular, I waited until the penguin was giving a full callEditing
Only post processing involved slight croppingIn my camera bag
For a visit of this nature I would carry both Nikon D5300 and D5500, with a Nikon 18-140, 70-300 and Sigma 150-500mm. Together with a monopod, spare battery, Colin Filter to include polarising, lens hoodsFeedback
Take time to select and frame the image allowing possible cropping, consider any backlighting and possibly locking the exposure/focus if the subject is stationary.
