Behind The Lens

Location

Cedar Cove Feline Conservation and Education Center in Louisburg, Kansas

Time

About 3:30 in the afternoon right before feeding time.

Lighting

Lighting was natural in semi shade with the sun behind me but into the tiger’s face

Equipment

Camera was a handheld Canon with a 100x400 telephoto lens

Inspiration

Mainly, I got lucky by being in a good place at the right time

Editing

Post processing was mainly cropping of the shot to eliminate as much of the enclosure bars as possible and then change to black and white using Intensity Pro.

In my camera bag

Four lenses-macro, standard, wide angle, and telephoto. A selection of filters and a monopod and tripod.

Feedback

I have been to Cedar Cove five times now, but I got this shot on my first visit. I love taking pictures of all their animals. But the one thing that is very clear to me, I can not duplicate the shot because the animals have gotten much larger and the tiger’s face is now much wider than the opening in the bars.
