Behind The Lens
Location
This was taken years ago in Denver Colorado zoo. The twin cubs where just born then, but I have also used the same photo in a photo composite on a snowy winters day in MichiganTime
late afternoon while enjoying the zoo with my kidsLighting
nothing at all! natural light with a long lensEquipment
nikon d5100 with a nikon 55-300 zoom lensInspiration
Baby animals are always popular, and this was part of a series I shot this day. however, their expressions made the imageEditing
In this image shadows were evened out in lightroom, but nothing else was done to it beyond normal cropping and colorIn my camera bag
I now use a nikon d500, my latest upgrade. I also have a 35mm and 50 mm lens both 1.8, and a 35-90 zoom along with the 55-300 which is my favorite lends.. although only a 4.5 and i dream of it being a faster zoom lens! maybe some dayFeedback
Zoos are wonderful places to photograph animals. try and keep distracting images out of the backgrounds, wait for a cloudy day or directional lighting, and watch for fun and amusing expressions on the animals
