Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in close to where we lived in Gauteng South Africa. Hartebeespoort dam, Snake park.

Time

This is one of my favorite photos just because that day I got my new Sigma lense. And when he heard my lense zooming in, he immediately reacted with pointing ears en eye staring. This shot was taken about noon.

Lighting

I never though that this image was going to be one of my favorites just because this poor animal is in a cage. So this huge steel bars in front of this powerful animal made me actually so sad. But lucky for me I was able to capture this magnificent animal by using only natural light.

Equipment

This was still with my first camera the Nikon 3200. My lense was a sigma lense 70-300mm

Inspiration

I wanted to capture this magnificent animal beauty. And the new lense I got, I justed wanted to shoot everything and everybody with it.

Editing

I only crop the image to remove the heavy steel bars on the one side of the aminal

In my camera bag

My prime equipment: Nikon D7100 - my sigma lense and my flash

Feedback

Be quick and never give up.
