Behind The Lens

Location

Erie, PA Zoo

Time

Afternoon

Lighting

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.
