Location
This shot was taken at the Dallas ZooTime
This was taken after lunch on a cloudy dayLighting
It was pretty overcast this day so the shot was pretty mutedEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mm lensInspiration
I just fell in love with the colors on this guy!Editing
Very little processing was done to this shot, just cropping and lightroom adjustmentsIn my camera bag
These days I normally carry a Canon 70D with a Tamron 16/300mm mounted, and a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses ranging from a 8mm diagonal fisheye to a Sigma 200-500mm telephoto depending on what I'll be shooting. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't get to plan a lot of shots beforehand - I've found I spend the most time with various prime lenses and the 17-300mm Tamron though, the Tamron's range lets you capture almost anything on the fly and reduces the need for lens changes out in the open. There is a bit of barrel distortion, but nothing that Lightroom can't handle.Feedback
This was a pretty impromptu shot, I was just walking around the zoo - zoos are a great place for critter shots!
