Location
Surprisingly it was just at The Creation Museum in Kentucky.Time
It was around noon time.Lighting
The lighting was just direct sunlight.Equipment
Nikon 7100 and 18-140mm kit lens.Inspiration
I was taking pictures of other farm animals there and this sheep had some striking marks on its face. I had clucked to it to get it to look at me square in the lens. I was surprised at how it had turned out. I actually have this one framed in the house. I call my national geographic photo. I'm very proud of it.Editing
Yes. I used Lightroom 4. Toned down the blacks and increased the exposure and highlights some. The upper right corner has some cloning from the white parts of the sheep to fill that part of the frame. That's all I really did to it though. Was not excepting it turn out as well as it did. In fact there were some camel pictures that I had taken and I wanted those to turn out better because they're a more unique animal to photograph. But hey you take what you can get.In my camera bag
Just the camera, the lens I used, a Sigma 70-300mm, Sigma 55-200mm, and a Nikon 50mm manual focus. Oh and lens cleaning supplies. Nothing bothers me more than a dusty or spotty lens. The camera could be caked in mud for all I care but I take care of the lenses.Feedback
Wait. Often times when you see a moment you wanted to capture and you missed it, just wait. Especially when it comes to wildlife photography. I find that they'll often go back to doing the same thing or something similar if you wait just a little longer. Many things in life even people do things in patterns and often repeat it. So if you think you e missed that moment, have a little patience before moving and you may capture it the next time.
