Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture at the Dublin zoo located in Phoenix park.Time
At the end of the afternoonLighting
It was a cloudy day giving a uniform ligth without shadowEquipment
My Nikon D750 with a 50-200 Tamron zoom lens.Inspiration
Tigers are my favorite big cats, they look so powerfull and so week in front of humans. That day this tiger, probably bored as every day watching people, was making a nap behind the glass, I may wake him up, just time to take a picture and he turns away his head.Editing
This tiger was behind a glass what makes image paler than usual. I had add saturation and contrast to get that effect away.In my camera bag
Usualy I take landscape picture with my 14-24mm f/2.8 Nikon lens or 24-70mm f/2.8 Nikon lens. I also use some graduated filters when sky and clouds needs. I also got a zoom lens to get some close-up on animals are distant subect.Feedback
Not easy way to take some picture of animals in zoo cause they don't often get close to glasses or barriers and stay away from visitors.
