Caught him just as he roared. He was at the Brookfield zoo and was sleeping most of the day. I kept going back and he finally was awake.

Captured this at a nature center. I LOVE owls!

I was photographing other birds in my backyard when I spotted the hummingbird by the beautiful Fuchsia flowers and captured this shot.

New little puppy adopted by my son. Now, a few months later, he is huge.

This was taken in my backyard. I think the hummingbird blends in quite well with the bush.

Female hummingbird rested for a split second on the salvia plant.

Little female Hummingbird perched on the edge of this Roses of Sharon flower and the flower never moved because she is so tiny.

I saw this hawk land on my fence, grabbed my camera. It flew down into the bushes and caught a small bird. I thought it would fly away, but it came

Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at Brookfield Zoo, Brookfield, Illinois.

Time

10:45 am.

Lighting

There was good, overcast lighting that day.

Equipment

Nikon D300, Nikon 80-400mm lens and a tripod.

Inspiration

I love tigers and have taken many pictures over the years at this zoo. This is the first one ever that I captured the light in his eyes which makes the photo stand out. It is one of my favorites.

Editing

I cropped in Lightroom until the focus was primarily on his eyes. I also did a little sharpening.

In my camera bag

My Nikon camera, Nikon lenses including a 12-24mm, an 18-300mm, a 70-200mm, an 80-400mm, a 50mm and a fisheye lens, extra cards and battery and my remote shutter release..

Feedback

Spend time and take a lot of photos. I think the combination of the lighting and the tiger looking directly at me made the difference this time.
