Location
This picture was taken on the Moraine River, on the Katmai Peninsula, Alaska. It is a remote area that can only be reached by hydroplane. It is a harsh and rugged landscape, but of incredible beautyTime
One always dreams of a fantastic day in summer, it was August 8, 2017, with a warm and soft light that enhances the photographs ... The reality was that we find ourselves with a day with a diabolical wind and a persistent rain. I want to think that, in the end, the adverse elements give character to the image!Lighting
Although at first it annoys you because the colors seem more muted, in reality the rainy days offer a sifted light that gives spectacular results in wildlife photography. In this photo I overexposed to compensate.Equipment
Nikon D610, Nikon 500mm f4, tripod and a rain-bug.Inspiration
I always say that I'm not sure if I'm a photographer who loves nature or a naturalist who does photography ... In this case, I was fascinated by the image of this young bear running down the river and trying - with little success - to catch a salmon. It is an image that conveys a strong sense of freedom.Editing
For the post-processing of my RAW files I always work with LR, in wildlife photography I do not like to use anything other than the highlights settings, clarity, focus and focus mask.In my camera bag
Nikon D610, Nikon lens 24-70mm, 70-200mm and 500mm f4, tripod and one flash SB800Feedback
In wildlife photography, it is as important to have good equipment and technical capacity, as well as having a thorough knowledge of the animal you want to photograph, its customs, its movements and how it can react. In my eyes this is what most brings you closer to a good photograph. Ah! And of course an infinite patience
