Behind The Lens

Location

In Sofia Zoo,Bulgaria.

Time

It was at midday, long time ago in 1985.

Lighting

Daylight, the sunlight backlit.

Equipment

An old film camera - Praktica with 135mm lens on a black and white 35mm negative film (Agfa Isopan125).

Inspiration

I'm in a new zoopark, with large pool and the polar bear feels very comfortable there.

Editing

I have scaning the negative film and make some retouch on taking copy.

In my camera bag

Now I'm using Canon DSLR camera and a mirrorless camera.

Feedback

It is better to have caught some emotion in the state of shooting animals.
