Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Yudanaka Japan

Time

It was around 11am and the snow had just started falling

Lighting

Because of the clouds the light was so nice and soft, perfect conditions

Equipment

Nikon d7000 with an 18-135mm 3.5-5.6 ED lens from Nikon, no tripod or flash

Inspiration

I had seen many documentaries about the Snow Monkeys of Japan and i just had to see them with my own eyes

Editing

Just a little sharpening and the odd lightroom adjustment, nothing special

In my camera bag

Now i carry the Nikon D750 with the 18-35mm and a Sigma 35mm 1.4

Feedback

Just be patient, take a few shots and wait for the right moment.
