Behind The Lens

Location

The photo was taken at the Sacramento Zoo. It was in the morning as it gets hot in Sacramento and the lions like to stay out of the heat. I was waiting a long time for the lions to come out. He was walking around and climbed up on his rock and laid down. I could not believe that he was looking right at me.

Time

I believe it was about 9:30 AM on a cool morning.

Lighting

Natural sunlight

Equipment

The Sony field rep was at the Zoo demonstrating the cameras and super lens. He asked if I would like to take some shots As an amateur, I'm not sure what the lens was

Inspiration

The lion, King of the Jungle, has always fascinated me. So Majestic & Powerful

Editing

No

In my camera bag

My camera of choice is the Olympus Pen-Light EPL 5. M. Zuiko 9-18 mm f4-5.6 lens

Feedback

See the world as a child. Everything is a new experience Don't be afraid to just let the camera do the talking. Look right, look left, look behind you, look up. You never know where the next magnificent capture will come from.
