Location
This was taken at the Dallas ZooTime
This would have been just after lunchtimeLighting
Lighting wasn't great for this shot, it was a very misty overcast dayEquipment
This was taken with a Canon 70D and Tamron 16-300mm superzoomInspiration
I was recovering from knee surgery and wandering the zoo to exercise it!Editing
This was massaged slightly using Lightroom, nothing drasticIn my camera bag
These days my 'walk about' setup is a Canon RP Mirrorless with a 24-240mm lens, but I'll also carry a 5D Mk III with any number of lenses if I'm looking to shoot something specific. I do have a couple of crop sensor bodies if I want a bit more reach, the extra magnification from the 1.6 crop factor helps there. I'm usually looking for cool things at random while traveling, so I often don't plan shots beforehand - I'm a pretty impromptu/opportunistic photographer. I've found I spend the most time with a 16-35mm wide angle, various prime lenses, or some sort of zoom depending on what I'm shooting. I also tend to use super-zooms a lot so I don't have to changes lenses out in the open.Feedback
Zoos are great places for critter shots, you know you'll find them!
