My love of tigers. I have taken many photos but this one is one of my favorites due to the detail of the tongue.Editing
I cropped the photo and sharpened it a bit in Lightroom.In my camera bag
My Nikon camera, Nikon lenses including a 12-24mm, an 18-300mm, a 70-200mm, an 80-400mm, a 50mm and a fisheye lens, extra cards and battery and my remote shutter release. This way I am prepared for anything I might encounter.Feedback
I love hanging out at the zoo and would repeatedly go back to the tiger enclosure if the lion was sleeping initially. Eventually he would be awake and I was able to capture this moment. So my advice is to not give up quickly because you will miss chances to get a good shot.
