Location
This photo was taken in the sunny Rietvlei Nature Reserve in South Africa.Time
Just after noonLighting
I used the bright light from the sun to maintain a natural feelEquipment
I used a Nikon D3100.Inspiration
I have always been memorized by the eyes of animals as they display true emotion. When looking at the Zebra that day, I saw pure honesty.Editing
I don't believe in over-editing but with this photo I had to put over a black&white filter to draw attention to the purpose of the photo - emotion in the eyes.In my camera bag
I believe in raw photos - I carry my camera only.Feedback
When capturing animals and keeping the natural feel, be patient. Animals can create some of the most beautiful photos. And in the end the patience will be worth it as shooting animals tests your ability to create a beautiful monent from something you cannot control.
