Behind The Lens

Location

Let the stare down begin at the Jacksonville Zoo, Florida. It was feeding time, and the tiger did not break his gaze. As I grabbed my camera to capture his piercing eyes, he stayed motionless probably visioning me as his next meal. His expression, without words, says, “What are you looking at?”

Time

It was late afternoon, and it was feeding time.

Lighting

The lighting was perfect to highlight the tiger’s eyes.

Equipment

I used my travel camera a Sony A6000, with a tripod, and filter.

Inspiration

My goal is to take a photo that speaks volumes without a single written word. The photo needs to create an emotion, tell a story, and beg for commentary.

Editing

My goal is to take a photo that speaks volumes without a single written word. The photo needs to create an emotion, tell a story, and beg for commentary.

In my camera bag

I carry all of the regular items in my camera bad, but two items are a necessity. First, extra batteries. Second, I love to have a crystal ball. Taking a photo using a crystal ball adds so my to the background and subject of your photo.

Feedback

Wait—don’t move—the perfect shot is coming.
