Location

This photo was taken inside the cage of the tiger at the Luján Zoo - Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Time

This photo was taken with a lot of adrenaline. The people who wanted to could enter the great wild animals' cages and approach them, even stroking them, which I also did. It was beginning of the afternoon and I believed that they were already well fed...

Lighting

The cages were large and the light was enough, although having some shadowed parts. Anyway, the light clearly illuminated the object, i.e., the tiger. As I was near the animal, I had no problems.

Equipment

I used my compact camera CANOIN Powershot SX710 HS. Absolutely forbidden to use the flash in such circumstances and I had to be quick. A full frame of him positioning myself near his head so that I could get the whole body.

Inspiration

Nature always inspire me. And these type of animals are really amazing, mainly when we are so close to them.

Editing

I did a resizing and improved the contrast. Besides, the original photo was colored, so I had to convert it into a B&W one.

In my camera bag

I always take with me my new Canon compact camera Powershot SX710 HS, my older Olympus VG-160, some extra batteries and, sometimes a small tripod.

Feedback

Well, if you can't get so close to these animals, then try to use your best zoom from an angle where you can have a clear image. Depending on where you are, you may have to adjust the lens aperture and the shutter speed.
