Behind The Lens

Location

This photo was taken in Rietvlei Reserve Pretoria South Africa

Time

Taken at 9h00 In good light

Lighting

The lighting was starting to get a little hash but still very good

Equipment

Canon 7D mk2 with a 300 f2.8 lens from the cars window hand held no flash, The buck were quite close

Inspiration

Looking at the buck through the camera I could not get the full head in the frame so I focused on the ear of nthe first one and due to the low F/Stop the seconed one was blurry. I took the shot and kept it for later editting the second shot I focussed on the back one and found it to be also very good

Editing

Only a tad cropping to cut the head in the centre and alittle sharpening

In my camera bag

Wheh I drive in a park I always have a 1d mk4 , 7d Mk 1 , 7d Mk2 and a 500 mk2 in my bag . The lenses I use is 500 F4, 300 F2.8, 50 F1.4 and a 70/200 F2.8

Feedback

When taking a shot like this you must have a lens with a low F/Stop set to the lowest , to blurr the secund head
