Behind The Lens

Location

This shot was made in the zoo "Limpopo", Nizhny Novgorod.

Time

The beginning of July 2006, about 18.00.

Lighting

It was warm, sunny, rather hot weather. In the sky were very rare weak clouds. The trees threw spotty shadows. Most of the animals hid from the sun under the awnings.

Equipment

Very simple equipment was used. Just a camera KODAK C340. No additional flashes, no reflectors, no tripods.

Inspiration

It was very hot. Almost all the animals sat under canopies and the lighting there did not give an interesting picture at all. And these storks, although they were sitting under a canopy, but the light on their feathers made their way through some kind of translucent visor and it seemed to me quite interesting. And the behavior of birds - one almost sleeps, the other is bored.

Editing

Processing was done very minimal - aligned vertical lines, cut off excess parts of the frame, slightly adjusted brightness, contrast, saturation.

In my camera bag

Now I usually use a CANON EOS 1200D camera with a YN 50 / 1.8 lens.

Feedback

The best shot can be done only on the camera that is in your hands. Take your technique, look carefully around and shoot.
