Behind The Lens

Location

It was taken in the zoo in Leipzig (germany)

Time

It was around 2 pm.

Lighting

It was simple get lighted by the sun

Equipment

It was shot with a Canon 5d mk 3 an the ef 70-300 f4-5.6 is usm lens. Nothing else was use.

Inspiration

On this place in the zoo i saw a huge ammount of tourists round about a window and i want to see what they are looking for and then i see this leopard right in front of the glass. I couldn't do something else then taken this shot.

Editing

Yes i have done a simple raw convertion (sharpening, a little bit color correction) and nothing else

In my camera bag

Normally i packed my bag with my Canon 5d mk 3 as first camera and a Canon 700d as second camera. Mostly i take the ef 28-135 f/3.5-5.6 ef 70-200 f/4-5.6 ef 50 f/1.8 Lensbaby 50mm 3g lenses with me. If i take the big bagpack i also tke a yongnuo 600 ex rt2 flash, some lee-filter's, flash controllers and of course batterys with me.

Feedback

The first rule i had learned for taking wildlife pictures is getting as close as you can, but of course only if it is safe!
