Location
This photo was taken near Nagano, Japan. I was invited to a photo contest organized by f-stop. The goal of the photo competition was to capture the outdoor sports scene in the Hakuba region, this photo was part of the series.Time
From what I recall somewhere in the afternoon.Lighting
This photo was taken in natural light.Equipment
A Nikon D700 with Zeiss Planar 50mm 1.4.Inspiration
I had never seen monkeys in the snow before. This was one of a group of monkeys that didn't move and was actually quite fierce when I came close to focus on his eye.Editing
Yes, I enhanced the colors to make the photo pop a little bit better.In my camera bag
Nowadays I use a Fuji GFX with two or three lenses (depending on the photo I have in mind).Feedback
Always be patient with animals! This photo took quite a while to get right.
