Location
I took this photo at the Columbus Zoo in Columbus, Ohio. The shot was taken through the plexisglass. He was watching a little girl and her mother next to me.Time
It was in the late afternoon that I took this shot.Lighting
The photo was shot with all natural lighting through the plexisglass. I shot at an angle to the glass to reduce or eliminate glare from the surface.Equipment
I used my Nikon D3100 handheld with no flash. I had a CPL filter on the lens. I used my kit 55-200 lens.Inspiration
I was observing how he was interacting with the young child. He was very expressive with his eyes.Editing
I did post processing with Photoshop Elements, NIK plug-in and On1 software plug-in.In my camera bag
Normally I have the Nikon camera body with kit lenses 18-55 mm and 55-200 mm, a 50 mm prime, and CPL filter.Feedback
It was a fleeting moment. Observation, move slow so he wasn't disturbed by my movement. Oh and yes, I usually talk to animals when photographing them.
