Location
I took this photo at the Phoenix Zoo. Although the habitat was quite nice for this group of orangutans, they later opened up an amazing new area for them. This is a sad story because in 2012, Duchess had to be euthanized due to an aggressive cancer. The wonderful thing is that I caught her granddaughter interacting with her if the sweetest way.Time
It was taken in the mid-morning hours.Lighting
Nothing special about the lighting. Was glad that it was in the shade because the natural sunlight in Phoenix is a real killer when taking photos.Equipment
Canon Powershot S5 ISInspiration
I love these wonderful creatures, that was my inspiration.Editing
A little tweaking in Photoshop.In my camera bag
At the time this was taken, I didn't have any equipment. Was just getting into photography using a point and shoot camera at the time.Feedback
Nope, just be patient and you will capture some amazing things--luck is often all you have to go on.
