Behind The Lens
Location
The entrance to the city zoo.Time
Mid morning.Lighting
I believe it was in direct sunlight, thus giving my that beautiful dark bokeh from the contrasting shadows.Equipment
I took with image with my trust Canon 7D and the ancient 100-300 pump telephoto lens. That was it.Inspiration
I love plants and when I saw this one as we entered the zoo I had to take a quick second and take the shot.Editing
I don't remember but I think that I might have darkened the image a bit in post.In my camera bag
For little excursions I have a small back that will hold a camera body with lens, a spare battery and card, and a second lens. For more intentional shoots I have a Peak Design bag which can fit my whole kit (pair of cameras, four lenses, flash, batteries, cards, tripod, etc).Feedback
It doesn't take long to frame up a shot if you know your equipment. That day I picked my extreme telephoto because I needed the practice. I never expected to capture this beautiful macro shot with it but here it is.
