Behind The Lens
Location
I was in the Koala building at the Riverbanks Zoo & Gardens in Columbia, SCTime
It was mid-day but since it was inside the lighting was from the ceiling lights.Lighting
Not really, the room the koala's were in has fairly good lighting but I think that the back wall having been painted green helped a lot.Equipment
Shot using a Canon 60D w/ 75-300mm lens at 80mm, f5.6, 1/125, ISO 1600Inspiration
This little guy just looked so peaceful napping on the tree, I just couldn't pass up getting a shot, or five (or six, :) ).Editing
No post-processing at all, this is right off the card.In my camera bag
In my main kit bag I have my Canon 60D with 18-55mm and 55-250mm lenses, ND 4, 8 and 400 filters and a circular polarizing filter. Also included is a macro extension tube set, a Neewer 680 flash, a small notebook w/ pen (very important for me so I can remember shot locations and other information), extra batteries and SD cards and finally lens cleaning cloths. When I'm on the road I also bring along a Sigma 150-500mm lens, a Bower 650-1300mm lens, another Neewer flash unit and remote trigger set, tripod and probably way too much other stuff too small to list.Feedback
I was still new to using a DSLR and still learning how to use it when I took this (actually I'm still learning and will always be learning :) ), so I don't feel I can properly give advice about this particular shot.
