This one looks like a banker, who's about to repossess your house, just because one or two payments have been missed! 😠😁

Location
This was taken at the Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, Louisiana, USATime
This was taken at 9:45 am shortly after the zoo opened and there was very little crowd.Lighting
My favorite lighting is early morning. She just happened to be looking directly toward the sun.Equipment
I used a Canon Rebel T3 with a Tamron 70 - 300 mm lens and a polarizing filter.Inspiration
This is a female orangutan who was watching a recent newborn playing. Her expression seemed to be one of content.Editing
I do not believe in digital enhancement. The challenge to photography is in knowing your camera, environment and own personal limitations and making them work.In my camera bag
As a wildlife photographer, I primarily use a backpack which includes two (2) Cannon Rebel T3's ( one with a Tamron 70-300mm lens, the other with a Canon 18-55mm lens), a GoPro Hero 3+ and various accessories, extra batteries, various filters, normal cleaning materials, light meter and gray scale cards. Since I spend much of my time in waders going through the bayous, I have a waterproof floating bag that holds my backpack. I also carry a 357 Blackhawk pistol to keep the gators and wild boar away.Feedback
In animal or bird photography you must abide by the "3 P" rule - Patience, Patience and Patience!
