Behind The Lens

Location

Hogle Zoo, Salt Lake City, UT

Time

7:45 am, March 29, 2016

Lighting

Used available light

Equipment

Canon EOS Rebel T6s (set @: ISO 800, 1/200 sec at f/7.1, Sigma 150-500 mm @ 500 mm, no tripod and no flash

Inspiration

The way he locked onto my lens daring me to shoot!

Editing

Yes, using Lightroom, I did a white balance to 6600k, set blacks to -45 and shadows +33, clarity at +45. Then I sharpened to 77 w/ radius at 2.6, changed luminance to 26 and dehazed to +60. Last thing to do was to square crop it to eliminate the surrounding clutter.

In my camera bag

I have been trying to stay as light as possible, but.... Camera : Canon Rebel T6s & sometimes a Canon Rebel T4i, Lens: Tamron 16-300 mm (most used lens!), Canon 10-22 mm zoom wide angle,Canon 100 mm macro and carried separably Sigma 150-500mm Flash: Canon 430 II Odds and ends to help with image capture.

Feedback

If you are shooting using natural light sources, REMEMBER the GOLDEN LIGHT times and use it as much as possible. As Joe Black had presented at Photoshopworld, remember the rule of thirds (across image, up or down image and depth of image).... Please note, sometimes the rule need to be broken.
