Behind The Lens

Location

Taken at home for a competition about bears. Not having bears in nature in Africa, I decided to have some fun!!

Time

The phot was taken in natural light in early afternoon.

Lighting

I do prefer natural light when it works for low ISO settings (<400)

Equipment

Handheld Sony Nex6 camera.

Inspiration

I saw a story with these two little bears.

Editing

I replaced a dull plain wall background with an autumn shot I had in my 'library' and erased the embroidered brand marking on th sole of the larger bear.

In my camera bag

My trusty Sony Nex-6 camera, a collapsible tripod, a good sharp wide ranging zoom lens (18-200), a lens cleaning brush ... and always a spare battery and sd card!!!!

Feedback

Let your imagination run free. In this time when travel to far and exotic locations is restricted, it's amazing the subject material you can find in your home!
