Behind The Lens

Location

Toronga Zoo, Sydney, NSW

Time

About 3pm

Lighting

It was taken in their enclosure from behind dirty glass, that's why the lighting isn't the best.

Equipment

My Canon 550D with a 55-200mm lens.

Inspiration

I was at the zoo. Tigers are always photogenic.

Editing

I just amplified the background colors a little bit.

In my camera bag

My Canon 550D, my 50mm f/1.8. A spare lens, a flash and 2 wireless transmitters.

Feedback

Always use a fast shutter speed when taking photos on animals, even when they're still!
