Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo at the Rio de Janeiro's City Zoo when I went there with my daughter.

Time

Since my daughter was a child at that time, I thought that it was a good opportunity to show her the Zoo during a beautiful morning in a sunny day.

Lighting

I only had worked with the daylight that was particulary good at that morning.

Equipment

I took the photo with my analogic Minolta X-700 with a Minolta Rokkor-X Zoom lens 75-200mm.

Inspiration

The way this gorgeous feline was lying on the tree trunk with such a serenity and dignity, although it was a captive animal, strongly caught my attention! Extremely beautiful and powerful! I really love this photo and I still feel its power!

Editing

I scanned the photo and enhanced its color.

In my camera bag

Nowadays, I only take shots with my Smartphone Samsung J6.

Feedback

My advice: to capture images like that photographers need to be patient and put their hearts on it.
