Location
This photo was taken at Manila Zoo, Philippines.Time
This shot was taken on a cloudy afternoon.Lighting
A nice ambient light is good enough to show the beauty of Maali, you just have to be patient.Equipment
I use Nikon D700 and Nikon 70-200mm f2.8 VR hand heldInspiration
I just want to share the beauty of Maali. Maali, a 43-year-old Asian elephant, was actually born in the wild in Sri Lanka. But when she was just a baby, people ripped her away from her family and transported her to the Manila Zoo in the Philippines, where she's lived for the past 40 years.Editing
I did some post-processing in this picture, I use photoshop 6 and do some cropping and vignetting, and focus on Maali's eyes.In my camera bag
Usually I have Nikon D700 and Nikon 70-200mm on my bag.Feedback
Always find the emotion of your subject, a great images always have story, and you have to show it on your pictures... practice makes it perfect... keep on shooting and share it to the world...
