Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was shot outside of Tucson, AZ. A few animals were out for breakfast, but this prairie dog caught my attention

Time

I remember shooting photos between early morning and close to 9am. Somewhere between those times I shot this photo.

Lighting

The desert was quiet and peaceful. Birds chirping and prairie dogs feeding.

Equipment

I shot this with a Nikon D3300 85mm prime lens Mostly handheld to easily move from one spot to another.

Inspiration

I was looking to shoot the mountain landscape. Didn't expect for the animals to get so close.

Editing

I did a little post processing, like lightly sharpening, slight contrast and lower highlights.

In my camera bag

I carried a Nikon D3300 with the lens kit, prime 185mm, prime 35mm and prime 50mm, several SD cards, severe batteries, and battery charger.

Feedback

On the lookout to take a photo, keep an eye on what else you can take photos, you might get lucky.
