Behind The Lens

Location

Seneca Park Zoo

Time

2:00 pm

Lighting

Actively snowing lightly. Some reflection off snow on the ground.

Equipment

Nikon D750, Tamron 150-600. Handheld.

Inspiration

Most people think that lions only can tolerate warm weather, not true.

Editing

This image has not been processed.

In my camera bag

When I photograph zoos I carry 2 cameras on a sling. Nikon D750 with Tamron 150-600 to focus past the fencing and Nikon D7200 with Nikon 24-120 to shoot open habitats and large animals.

Feedback

Any lens over 300-350 can focus through fencing. Zoo animals don't always find themselves in the most convenient spots for a good pose so be patient and make frequent visits. Try to get to know the animal's behavior.
