Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in an animal sanctuary called Healesville sanctuary in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. In the Australian exhibit. These furry creatures are so photogenic.

Time

This is probably one of the images I'm most proud of, I took so many photos of these koalas, and eventually they posed like this and I had the perfect photo. It was quite a sunny day and about midday, with the sun shining brightly.

Lighting

This image is natural lighting from about midday, it was a beautiful sunny day and I love the Bokeh of the background, highlighting the koalas themselves and making them the key focal point.

Equipment

This was shot on a Canon 600d with 70-300mm tamron lens.

Inspiration

Animals are one of my passions to photograph, and I just happened to be on the right place at the right time. I love koalas, and to me this photo captures the essence of family.

Editing

No, this is all natural, straight out of the camera.

In my camera bag

I'm an amateur photographer and own a Canon 600d, with an 18-135mm lens and a tamron 70-300 which is a great sports lens and also for animals.

Feedback

Always make sure your camera is ready to capture a moment, you never know it may become one of your favourite and most pride filled images you take. Be sure to use natural lighting to your advantage and trust your instincts. Make memories, and be proud of your work.
