Location
this was taken at the Dallas Zoo, this little guy is one of the embassador crittersTime
this was taken about mid-dayLighting
it was an overcast spring day, but light wasn't too mutedEquipment
this was shot with a Canon 5D mkIII and Canon 300mm F4L lensInspiration
i had a knee replaced and the Zoo sounded like a good place to get some steps inEditing
this was massaged and converted to mono using LightroomIn my camera bag
These days my 'walk about' setup is a Canon RP Mirrorless with a 24-240mm lens, but I'll also carry a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses if I'm looking to shoot something specific. I do have a couple of crop sensor bodies if I want a bit more reach, the extra magnification from the 1.6 crop factor helps there. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with a 16-35mm wide angle, various prime lenses, or some sort of zoom depending on what I'm shooting. I also tend to use super-zooms a lot so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
zoo's are great places to get critter closeups!
