Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo in Cap Sante Park in Anacortes, WA. It was getting on to late Spring and was in the middle of a rain shower.

Time

This was in the morning and it was a very grey day with intermittent rain showers.

Lighting

There was really nothing special, but any contrast in colors really stands out on a grey day and when wet.

Equipment

Canon T3i with a 300mm lens, but I didn't use the zoom because she was within 7 feet of me.

Inspiration

She and her fawn and two other does and I were walking through wet forest and we came upon one another suddenly. We both froze, then I moved slowly and was able to take several photos before they wandered away. I was really please they didn't startle and dash.

Editing

Just cropped the photo to get the right expression on her face.

In my camera bag

What I said above plus a spare battery and if I think there may be some floral activity, possibly a macro lens.

Feedback

Move slowly and respectfully through your environment, make no sudden moves. Great photos come to those who wait and are patient.
