Location
Took this photo at the Denver Zoo.Time
Around 8 am.Lighting
This photo was taken through a glass enclosure. The lighting is natural daylight. Moved lens right up to the glass to avoid reflections.Equipment
My equipment is a D800 Nikon camera with a AF-S NIKKOR 28-300mm 1:3.5-5.6 G lens.Inspiration
It seemed to me as if he was posing for me to take the photo.Editing
Yes there was a small amount of post processing in Photoshop CC. I used levels, contrast, and a small amount of vibrance.In my camera bag
I pack my D800 camera, 28-300 NIKKOR telephoto lens, a 35 mm NIKKOR lens, D5100 Nikon camera as a backup, several batteries, A ND filter, rain hood to protect camera and of course camera cleaning kit.Feedback
Sometimes getting a great photo is pure luck, but most of the time it is planning for time of the day, lighting, composition and subject. A great many things have to come together for the perfect photo, which I have not been able to attain!! But it will be the very next one!! So my advice to anyone is to be patient and never stop learning!!
