Behind The Lens

Location

At the Helsinki zoo, Högholmen or Korkeasaari.

Time

It was mid-day, and feeding time. The lynx was eyeing the food that staff had put up on a pedestal.

Lighting

Natural light, sunshine with a light overcast sky.

Equipment

This was shot on my Pentax K-10, using an old 1970's lens of 70-300mm.

Inspiration

I was looking for the animals to engage with something within or outside their enclosures. I loved how this lynx was looking up, as if gazing into the sky.

Editing

Nothing big, just some general adjustments and a vignette.

In my camera bag

I nowadays always carry my Pentax K-1, with my trusted 24-70 and my Tamron 90mmMacro.

Feedback

VIsit your local zoo, hang out and watch the animals. :-)
