Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in kalispell montana. His name is Bruno. He lives in a privat farm where you can photograph some beautiful animals.

Time

This was late morning on a cloudy day

Lighting

Lighting was a bit harsh but workable.

Equipment

I use a canon 7D and a canon 1dx mark two, I was using a canon 100-400 lens on a really tight stuff tripod

Inspiration

I was updating my portfolio and Bruno was one of several animals I photographed. He has such personality it was a really fun shoot.

Editing

Yes I contrasted a bit a lightened exposure a bit

In my camera bag

Two bodies canon 7D and canon 1Dx mark 2. 100-409 lens, 70-200 2.8 85-145, 80-300. All canon. I just got. Tamaron 150-600 with a 1-4 converter, extra batteries, lens wiped,and lots of cards.

Feedback

Shooting wildlife captive or not isn't easy. It takes patience. If the animal is out and can run. I bump up the ISO to about 1500. I use f9-f11 and about 400 speed and definitely a tripod. Compose the scene. Give the animal a place to go. If you have an animal laying down I go to f5 or lower one thing to remember with animals is to try for the eye catch. Light in their eyes. You may have to move position. For head shots you may need to adjust your speed a bit lower or or use exposure compensation for the right light. Expression tell their story with their eyes. Expression is also told by their movement. The thing I try to remember that shooting wildlife is fun!
