This photo was taken at the Albuquerque Zoo. I am a new photographer so I am learning as I go. I love the emotion that this photo captured.Time
This photo was taken in the early morning.Lighting
This image was edited to create a darkened background, this added an emotional side to the photo.Equipment
This photo was taken with a Nikon P610.Inspiration
I enjoy capturing animal emotions. I normally try to stick to wild animals but this photo captured the gorilla's emotions perfectly.Editing
I converted the original to black and white. I then darkened the image and blacked the background.In my camera bag
I normally keep my Nikon P900 ready to capture any wildlife running by.Feedback
Be patient and wait for just the right shot! Part of the reason I love wildlife photography is being able to share images and experiences of wildlife with those that cannot enjoy them in the wild. For this picture I waited until she showed her face and captured her emotional gaze.
