Location
I am a self taught photographer so many motives are new to me. Not much is planned ahead. It all comes with the feeling. This image is taken in a Reptile Zoo in Denmark, a place I visit a lot. My favorite animals there is the Cameleon and the Geccos.Time
I often spend an entire afternoon there. Its inside, so not much effect on image, what time of day it is. I do like to capture the softness in the early moning and late evenings.Lighting
I moved around, so I did not catch the lightning ind the terrarium. no flash used to protect the animals.Equipment
I am still a newbie, so I only photograph with my handheld camera, sometimes I use support by what around.Inspiration
The magnificient detales on his feet, caught my attention. They sat still on the glas long enough, for me to take plenty of pics. I am fascinated by the simple detales in our amazing world. the Gecco does not use suction cups as I thought. They maintain their grip by using static electricity coming from the vibrating lamellae.Editing
I only cropped it a little bit. I don´t edit that much yet. I do not shoot in RAW yet, so i am limited still.In my camera bag
In my bag is my camera. Nothing else. I am saving up to expand and buy a reflector and maybe some ring light, and maybe a new camera.Feedback
