Behind The Lens

Location

Living a block away, I'm a constant visitor to the Bronx zoo...so this picture was taken there...

Time

I had decided to take a day off to myself. I decided to go early in the morning. Waited 45 minutes to take this shot...

Lighting

Lighting was fair, despite that that I was indoor...

Equipment

Took this shot with my Nikon d3200....wish I was able to take it with my d7200...i use a 75-200mm lens..:

Inspiration

Patience...love for God's creation....

Editing

Little editing just to focus on his fangs...

In my camera bag

When I usually go to the zoo i take only the lens that I will use for the type of pictures that I'm planning to take...for example ill take my 80-150 macro lens for close up, my 85mm for a reasonable distance and my 35mm to capture a wider shot..

Feedback

A lot of patience and determination....on this shot i actually just had to wait for him to yawn again...45 minutes later he did...
