Location
Naples, Florida Caribbean Gardens Zoo and Botanical Gardens.Time
Afternoon.Lighting
Very bright sunlight. Actually used point and shoot auto exposure, so the resultant image was a complete surprise to me.Equipment
Just used auto exposure in a point and shoot camera. Just pointed and shot.Inspiration
There was bright sun and deep shadows. I just wanted to capture the beautiful leopard. I usually shoot fast to capture 5-10 shots of the same image, and then pick out the best one. The background features the fencing separating me from the leopard and the metal mesh caught the bright sunlight.Editing
This is the way it came out of the camera. The leopard was very active and I was surprised the way camera froze the action as she had just turned her head.In my camera bag
Camera, extra chip, extra batteries.Feedback
Just shoot, shoot, and shoot. Look for bright light and deep shadows. Trust your camera.
