Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was taken on a job where we were installing an HVAC system. This cat would just walk around us and check things out, but he was never a bother to us. I asked the lady that lived there if I could bring my camera back the next day when we come out, cause I would like to take photos of her cat and she said sure. He was very easy to work with, just like he knew that he had to work for the camera.

Time

The time of day was around noon and was just all natural lighting coming in from the large windows.

Lighting

I did not use a flash cause there were large windows and I wanted to stick with just the sunlight.

Equipment

Just used my Conon 60-D, no filters or anything

Inspiration

I love working with animals, they remind me of very young children, you never know what you're going to get!

Editing

Just switching from color to B&W

In my camera bag

On the go I take my Canon 60-D, 50 mil, 80 mil, a 70-135 and a 300 mil Plus my tripod. Sometime I take some reflectors

Feedback

Got to be ready at all times, to move quickly for the next shot, you may have to get on your knees or even laying down.
