Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken behind the Anchorage, Alaska Airport. I am a novice photographer and was out trying to shoot planes landing when I found the moose and her calf sunning in the grass.

Time

Afternoon is a great time of day for lighting behind the airport.

Lighting

No

Equipment

This was shot on a Nikon D700. Can't remember the lens I was using.

Inspiration

The peaceful tranquility of watching them lying in the sun.

Editing

I really try to do minimal editing, as I like my photos to be true to what I was shooting.

In my camera bag

My bag is heavy, I keep 4 different lenses with me at all times.

Feedback

Patience is the key to a great wildlife shot.
