I took this at the zoo, I then used Photoshop to take out the background , the lion was laying on a platform and his body was in heavy shade while his head was perfectly litTime
It was in the early afternoon on a bright sunny dayLighting
Being self taught I wanted to make the portrait look amazing and fix the mixed lighting in the pictureEquipment
Canon 5D mark Ii Canon 100-400 lensInspiration
Even with the harsh lighting I loved how regal the lion lookedEditing
I used burn and dodge to get rid of backgroundIn my camera bag

Don't be afraid to take the shot, don't be afraid to play with programs you have yet to learn, If something catches your eye it is worth shooting
