Location
This photo was taken at the Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida, USA.Time
This was taken mid-day in the Orangutan area.Lighting
The Orangutan was watching myself and a couple of other photographers. He was mimicking us review our shots and pretending to take pictures. He is a very smart creature and had quite the personality!Equipment
No pod, Nikon and a basic Nikon telephoto lense.Inspiration
His personality inspired me, I love going to see the great apes and wish we could interact more.Editing
If any, very basic and minor changes to the color, contrast and high tones.In my camera bag
I keep it light, batteries, a telephoto lense and extra memory cards.Feedback
Wait, watch and take a lot of photos. I may take 20 or 30 pictures in a row of a subject at particular instance to try to get just that one outstanding photo. There is never a one shot and you got it. Take as many as you can and post production wisely it down to one or maybe even none at all.
