Location
This photo was taken in Yudanaka JapanTime
It was around 11am and the snow had just started fallingLighting
Because of the clouds the light was so nice and soft, perfect conditionsEquipment
Nikon d7000 with an 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 ED lens from Nikon, no tripod or flashInspiration
I had seen many documentaries about the Snow Monkeys of Japan and i just had to see them with my own eyesEditing
Just a little sharpening and the odd lightroom adjustment, nothing specialIn my camera bag
Now i carry the Nikon D750 with the 18-35mm and a Sigma 35mm 1.4Feedback
Just be patient, take a few shots and wait for the right moment.
