This is Shombay from our local zoo. Tucson Reid Park Zoo is a smaller zoo with great folks to keep the animals very happy and healthy. They offer a variety of wonderful creatures to see and get to know. Shombay and his mate Kaya, are one of my favorites at the zoo.Time
I do believe this was mid morning time, it was so long ago and my memory ain't as sharp as it was back then.Lighting
One of my earliest photographs taken, and wasn't really sure on how to do a lot of clean up work. I boosted the Contrasting and Saturation, if I remember right.Equipment
Do believe that was my Canon T3, hand held using a 300mm telephoto lens.Inspiration
I have had a love of big cats for most of my life. Anytime that I can get photographs of them, I certainly so. This big cat has earned my respect and love over the years that is for sure.Editing
I normally use Photoshop Elements, along with Lightroom CC. But also use Topaz, Nik and Alienskin Exposure 5.In my camera bag
Now carry a Canon 80D with a Sigma 150-500mm lens. Plus a lot of other stuff.Feedback
Take as many shots as possible, learn where ever you can...youtube, friends, family ect. The main thing is to get out there and practice, practice, practice. Be patient, it will take time to learn, so take time and enjoy it!
