Parts of the Zoo are shaded for various reasons, this area was one of them. Much cooler for the animals.Equipment
Canon EOS 1D, Canon 300mm f/2.8 lens, available light.Inspiration
The position n relaxed position he was in. Already had the 300 on one of my bodies, so didn't have to change lens, which definitely helped.Editing
Processed raw image, with a little contrast n blacks.In my camera bag
At the time, 50mm f/1.2, 24-70mm f/2.8, 70-200mm f/2.8, and the 300, along with 2 Canon 580 flashes, 1.4 convertor.Feedback
Fortunately the light was pretty even that day, also cool, really the animal made it easy. I just like using long glass, being with sports, nature, and news events.
