Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken at a portland zoo during a tiger show.

Time

This is one of my favorite photo. This was taken around 11 AM during a show.

Lighting

I myself was surprised to see the picture after taking it at a time I always hate to take pictures on. close to noon time.

Equipment

Nikon D800, 75-300 mm Tamron lens. No tripod, No flash.

Inspiration

I was looking for some action photos of this beautiful tigress. She was going underwater to grab her meat. I took many good movements of this beauty, but this one really came out very well.

Editing

I only did a very minor exposure adjustment to this picture.

In my camera bag

Nikon D800, Tamron 75-300 mm, Sigma 24-75 mm and a bunch of filters and a tripod. I also have an Olympus ES300 and few other lenses come with me at times.

Feedback

Be prepared for photos like this. I was not. Set your ISO right and go for shutter mode.
