The photo was taken in the zoo from Leipzig - Germany. I am a hobby photographer and like to photograph zoo animals.Time
This was on September 14, 2016 At 5:04 pm.Lighting
The photo was taken with the available daylight. the light on this late afternoon was perfect and the leopard lay in the light cone.Equipment
This was shot on a Canon 5 d mark III, with an 150-600mm f5-6,3 lens. No other equipment was involved.Inspiration
I love leopards, tigers and co. And so they belong to the most photographed animals at my zoo visit. I often spend hours in front of the guard.Editing
With this picture I have only made the background slightly darker.In my camera bag
The first thing I always pack is my Canon 5d mark III. For the zoo photography I have only 3 objective in the backpack: the Canon 70-200mm 2.8 is ii the Tamron SP 150-600mm F/5-6.3 Di VC USD Teleobjektiv and my SP AF 90mm F/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1 for the reptilesFeedback
Go to the zoo, let yourself be inspired and concentrate on a few animals. Do not try to scan every animal species in the zoo in one day, but take the time for selected animal species.
