Behind The Lens

Location
Audubon Zoo in New Orleans, LA
Time
Toward the end of the day, Shooting had not been particularly fruitful, & it was beginning to rain, so the light was soft, even and weak.
Lighting
it was beginning to rain, so the light was soft, even and weak.
Equipment
Canon 5d iv, 70—300 mm Canon lens, Monopod (A tripod would have been better, but they weigh more, & it's easy to miss a shot while setting up a tripod…… same issues exist with a mono pod, but to a lesser extent).
Inspiration
There was little else to photograph to advantage,
Editing
Lots of cropping, This was done at "photo Art" & not for Audubon or any of the fussy, anti editing publications, so I had a lot of lee way in smoothing ruffled feathers (if there were any, I really don't remember), I most likely increased the saturation. I was lucky in that the image is very sharp, & the lighting very soft.
In my camera bag
See below.
Feedback
In this instance, not too much. Camera (Canon 5D mark iv) 40mm 2,8 Canon pancake lens, telephoto zoom, Monopod. Spare battery & charger, spare Memory card. That's about as light as you can get. I could have left out the 40mm lens, but it weighs next to nothing. I could have left behind the monopod, but them my image would have been a bit softer. I had a case with wheels, although the case is heavier, it's an overall plus if you are doing a lot of walking. It also had room for an umbrella, which proved to be very useful later on in the day. A bottle or even two, of water can be a BIG help. Sunblock can also prevent a lot of grief. Candy bars & a sandwich can be helpful, but in this case there was an eatery near by.
