Behind The Lens

Location

On a trip out to Minnesota for my Brother-In-Law's Wedding, we had an extra day to visit Como Park Conservatory & Zoo. This capture was obviously my favorite shot of the day, and it was almost as if he was contemplating all the questions of the world. He just sat there, on a post, pondering for about 30 minutes.

Time

It was a slightly overcast day, around 1pm. The keepers had just given out enrichment treats, but this guy was just fine, taking time for just himself and his thoughts.

Lighting

Since it was overcast, I had fantastic natural light. As a bonus, I got some bokeh in the background , too.

Equipment

This was shot with a Nikon D3300 Body & a Tamron 18-250mm lens. No flash needed.

Inspiration

I love animals, and I love taking Zoo trips, because I know i'm bound to get unique and interesting shots. I just love the emotion in his face.

Editing

I only used a bit of tweaking in Lightroom for this one. A little sharpening and noise reduction cleaned this image up nicely.

In my camera bag

My "every day" kit consists of my Nikon D3300 Body, along with my Nikon 50mm f/1.8G Prime lens, and my Tamron 18-250mm lens. I also bring my speedlight and a flash diffuser. I always carry extra batteries & SD cards, too. You never know what opportunities will arise!

Feedback

Be ready for anything, and keep your eyes open! As a Photographer, I love seeing everything all around from a new perspective. There's always an opportunity to capture something amazing, if you look close enough!
