Location
I took this at our local zoo. It was a beautiful day and I wanted to play with my new camera. I've always used my phone to take pictures before so I'm just learning how to use the settings on the new camera.Time
This picture was taken in the afternoon. I was lucky that the otters were out and playing at the time.Lighting
The lighting came from natural sunlight. There was some reflected light from the pool that they were swimming and playing.Equipment
My new camera is a Samsung WB350F with a 21x telephoto lens. I used the auto settings since I was realatively close. It is really good for these types of shots.Inspiration
I just love shooting pictures of animals when I can. I noticed the two different colored otters and knew they would make a great contrast to each other.Editing
I didn't have to do any post-processing with this picture.In my camera bag
Since I am new to real photography, I just used this camera. As I get better, I look forward to upgrading to a better one. I do have to say that for now, while I'm learning about composition, this is a great little camera.Feedback
My best advice in capturing a photo like this is patience. I waited until I got the perfect shot.
