Location
I took this photo in a forest preserve near a small river.Time
I took this photo one early, chilly November morning.Lighting
There was poor natural lighting due to clouds, as well as the tall trees. Because of this, I had to use a 3200 ISO.Equipment
I used a Nikon D7100 and 200-500mm lens.Inspiration
As I was walking, I came across these two deer by the river. I was inspired by the universal maternal care that is seen across various species.Editing
In addition to basic steps in Lightroom, I had to focus more on reducing the high ISO.In my camera bag
Nikon D7100 with two lenses: 18-300mm and 1.8f/ 50 mm. Nikon D810 with three lenses: 1.8f/ 50 mm, 1.8f/ 20 mm, and 2.8f/ 24-70 mm. Nikon Speedlight SB910 Tripod FiltersFeedback
Always carry your camera with you because you never know when inspiration might strike. If you have a specific shooting location in mind, try to leave earlier in the morning before crowds. Good luck.
