It's amazing to see how much more beautiful objects are when you capture them close up

Behind The Lens
Location
This is another shot from the treasure trove that is Wingham Wildlife Park near CanterburyTime
Shortly before lunchtime - which tends to focus my mindLighting
This is your bog standard, in a dark reptile house, through slightly fogged glass and taken under fluorescent lights type shotEquipment
My trusty Sony A99v with 50mm f2.8 macro lens supported by the Mk1 human hand and arm comboInspiration
Well, it's back to my affinity for reptiles really. They seem to like me shooting them. Guess it takes one to know one, haha!Editing
Tiny tweaks really - the magic was all in the original shotIn my camera bag
This was my standard loadout for an animal park, my Sony A99v and spare batteries, f2.8 50mm macro lens, my Sigma 150-500mm with 2x teleconverter plus an extra lens (in this case my Ziess 85mm Planar T*). I also carry an airblower and cleaning kit for good measure.Feedback
Find something you love to shoot and just keep at it. It never hurts to read around the subject and the type of shot and to remain open minded for unexpected opportunities
