Behind The Lens

Location

In my backyard.

Time

Midday.

Lighting

Midday light makes for good shutter speeds but harsh shadows. It's important to be aware of the position of the sun in relation to your subject(s).

Equipment

Canono 6D with 500mm Sigma telephoto.

Inspiration

Wildlife passes through my backyard regularly, though this was the first time I'd caught bobcats on camera.

Editing

This is a single exposure, processed to maximize the dynamic range and decrease shadows. I softened some background distractions.

In my camera bag

For nature photography, my Sigma 150-500mm and Canon 70-200mm.

Feedback

Think before clicking the shutter, but don't overthink. Take a lot of pictures. Know what can be fixed in post and what must be gotten right on camera.
