Behind The Lens
Location
Virunga National park, Rwanda, Africa.Time
9.45 am on 10.9.2013.Lighting
It was raining earlier in the morning and by the time we got to the Gorillas there was a light mist in the air .The light in the jungle is varied from shade to dappled sunlight and the foliage that surrounds you presents a challenge when focussing.Equipment
Nikon D7100 and a Nikon F3.5-5.6 18-200mm lens.Inspiration
A love of capturing the moment.Editing
I'm not into doing loads of post process but i used lightroom which is enough to deal with any high ISO that you get and the associated noise!!! .Basic adjustments of contrast,Highlights,saturation ,shadows and sharpening.In my camera bag
I normally have my Nikon F4 300 mm, F5.6 200-500 mm(my go to lens) and a Nikon 3.5-5.6 18-200 mm ( for landscapes). A D750 and a D7100 body. A monopod and Rain cape.Feedback
Go to Rwanda and witness these amazing creatures in their natural habitat. A magical experience that i will never forget.
