Location
I'm living in the Mediterranean Sea on the island of MALLORCA. The pic I've taken in the southern part of the island. After lunch with client, I left towards PALMA, the capitol of Mallorca. But, only a few kms on the main street, I found, it's 'boring'. So I left and took a smal path into the rural landscape. Here I met my lovely donkey. When I had left the car, he run towards me to say 'HELLO!' An amazing 'meet off' between 2 unknown creatures. As he didn't show any shynees, I could take pictures.Time
It has been around 2pm and it has been quite hot. So any creatures looked for a shaded place. But, when I reached the fencing, the donkey left the shade and ran towards me. I guess, simply to break the daily boredom.Lighting
Taking photos at this time, midday, isn't the best what one can do. But, finally, it has been worth it to shoot.. ;-)Equipment
That day, on the road, I only had the 'smallest thing' I have with me: A FinePix F600EXR. Photo: ISO 100, f/3,5 1/600 s 4.4mm It's not always the 'super' camera that makes the best shot. ;-) I'm a FUJI photographer with actually a T1 and T3..Inspiration
Looking for pics 'off the beaten track' I found that wonderful animal. Each time I look at this photo, it makes me feel happy.Editing
I post-processed only the contrast and the HDR values.In my camera bag
As said: FUJI T1 and T3. Always in my car: OLYMPUS 'Tough' to be able to shot under water, too... (living on an island it's a good idea) As flash I normally use PROTONFeedback
ALWAYS!! have a camera with you (nowadays you have your phone, too) and cross the world with open eyes. ;-)
