Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photograph in Tucson, AZ. I was at the San Xavier Del Bac Mission photographing when I saw this Prairie dog running along the side walk.

Time

It was taken early in the afternoon.

Lighting

It's always a challenge while photographing during the day. I had to make all of my adjustments in camera making sure that I had my aperture set right.

Equipment

I used a Nikonn D60. I did not use a tripod. I was actually laying on the ground. I did had a telephoto lens.

Inspiration

I thought the prairie dog was a good opportunity to catch wildlife in action.

Editing

I used a little bit of Photoshop to reset the highlights only becaise od the time or day.

In my camera bag

I always have 2 lens. One standarf an one telephoto. I camera a flash and my Nikon D3200.

Feedback

Be patient. Animals will always move.
