Behind The Lens

Location

The Phoenix zoo.

Time

Late morning.

Lighting

This was shot through a nasty, scratched up and smudged up plexiglass window. Not sure how it worked out so well.

Equipment

Panasonic Lumix FZ-30... probably at about 150mm handheld.

Inspiration

A great face!

Editing

Just nominal brightness/contrast changes and maybe a small crop.

In my camera bag

Using different equipment now. I use a Nikon D800 with a battery pack, 24-120 zoom, 80-400 zoom, 105mm micro, TC-20E teleconverter, and a Fuji pocket camera as a back-up.
