Behind The Lens

Location

This Photo was taken in Pilanesberg National Park South Africa

Time

Mid Morning light was hash made some Ajustments on camera to take this shot

Lighting

Mid morning the light is always a little hash moved the car to get the best position

Equipment

Canon 1D MK4 and 500 f4 lens from a bean bag in the cars window

Inspiration

Ther were 6 Garaphs in the aria twisting necks and the background was clean so you don't miss this

Editing

Only cropping and a little sharpinning

In my camera bag

I always carry at least 3 combinations in the car when on a trip 1 canon 1d mk4 with 500 f4 lens 2 canon 7d mk2 with 300 f2.8 lens 3 canon 7d with 70/2000 f2.8 lens 4 1.4 converter and 2x converter

Feedback

Good photos are always taken when the back ground is clean I love using a low F/stop to blurr the background as much as possable Using long lenses often force you to take head only shots as in this case
