Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken during a trip to the Toronto Zoon.

Time

It was during mid afternoon right after a huge rainfall.

Lighting

Nothing to say about lighting. Just wanted a true naturally lit shot.

Equipment

SONY DSC HX300 Aperature 50/10 ISO 80 Shutter 1/640 Focal Length 3956/100

Inspiration

The position of the polar bear and the use of negative space in the frame.

Editing

Only a small bit if saturation was used.

In my camera bag

It used to be my Nikon D5000 but not it's just my Sony.

Feedback

Try not to overthink the shot. Go with your instincts and rapid fire off some shots. I always find the with multiple shots you'll be able to find that gem.
