Behind The Lens

Location

I took this image in India, Bandhavgarh national park

Time

This was an early jeep drive, 05:30

Lighting

The lighting was very bright for that time of morning, but the forest was very dark, so I was very lucky this Tiger came from hiding in the forest.

Equipment

I was using a Canon 40D, with a Canon 300mm F2.8 L IS lens handheld.

Inspiration

It has always been a boyhood dream to see Tigers in the wild. So when i saw the tiger moving from behind the tree, I knew i wanted this image.

Editing

I only lighten the image slightly, and cloned out a few bits of grass...

In my camera bag

Well since the India trip, i have got myself some newer gear. I now use a Canon 7d (waiting for the 7d MKII) and a Canon 5D MKIII lens is a Canon 500mm (prime) Canon 70-200mm F2.8 L IS /24-105mm

Feedback

The only advice i can give is stay alert when out, don't fiddle with camera settings, keep an eye on your subject at all times. look for that one off image...
