Behind The Lens
Location
This photo was taken at predator rescue center near Plettenberg Bay, South Africa.Time
About mid-afternoon. The natural light was just right and very little work needed afterwards.Lighting
I prefer to use natural light wherever possible. None of the great masters had fancy lighting and had to use natural lighting.Equipment
I was still using my original Cannon 450 D with a 200mm telephoto lens.Inspiration
Just waiting for the "right"moment does not always work so in this instance I took many photos.Editing
Very little post processing work was done. I can not afford to buy Photoshop so I normally use Photoscape - a free to use processing program.In my camera bag
Tripod, flash, spare batteries and a few spare lensesFeedback
Try, try and try again. Each person has their own specific "style'. It's OK to emulate others, but no-one has your own viewpoint.
