Behind The Lens
Location
I took this picture of my cat, Luna, as she was eating from her food dish.Time
This was shot sometime in the afternoon inside my home.Lighting
I decided to use my external flash for this shot because I wanted to freeze Luna as I know she is a messy eater and wanted to really capture that.Equipment
I used my Canon 5d Mark iv with a 50mm lens along with my external flash.Inspiration
Ever since Luna was a kitten she has been an extremely messy eater. Her tongue usually sticks out and her saliva just literally goes everywhere. Her Persian face has always intrigued me and always keeps me laughing so I wanted to capture my cat at her finest.Editing
I did not, this is practically a raw file.In my camera bag
I have a relatively large camera bag so I can have at least one essential lens with me at all times (wide, normal, and telephoto.) I always have extra batteries handy along with a good pair of gloves because shooting outdoors gets extremely cold here in Maine!Feedback
Be very patient with your subject. The longer I wait with whatever I am shooting the better my photographs are. Another helpful tool is to really get to know your subject. What makes them different or special from others. Learning even just the littlest amount about your subject can give you a major advantage in capturing what you want.
