Behind The Lens
Location
The photo was taken at Kurile Lake, Kamchatka Peninsula, RussiaTime
The time of day is around noon with the sun high in the skyLighting
Intense light from the sun as expected in middayEquipment
I've used my trusty Canon 5D Mark III and Tamron 150-600 lens, no tripodInspiration
Going to Kurile Lake, I've expected seeing brown bears, and wanted to capture as many moments as I could from their behavior in their natural environment which includes devouring salmon fish that are swimming up the stream at that time of the yearEditing
I had to play a bit with the contrast and brightness as the lighting from the sun was really intenseIn my camera bag
In my bag I usually carry my camera and two lenses one extra wide and one mid-to-high range. The telephoto lens goes in only when I know I would be using itFeedback
