This photo would have been taken around 10 am.Lighting
I used ambient lighting.Equipment
Nikon D7000 camera paired with a Nikon 18-300mm lens.Inspiration
This emu stuck its head up a few feet from me and I snapped the shot. I loved the eyes!Editing
Minor adjustments to add light and remove shadows.In my camera bag
On this particular day I would have been carrying a Nikon D7000 with an 18-300mm lens. I have subsequently upgraded to a Nikon D850 with a 28-300mm lens; and a Nikon Z7 paired with a 24-70mm lens.Feedback
When taking photos of wildlife, even in a zoo setting, be constantly ready for the great composed shots happen fast!
