Location

This photo was taken at the Brookfield Zoo in Brookfield ' IL. The is a little over 30 minutes north of our house. My wife and I usually go once a year. They have a beautiful indoor habitat that is a very large building. If you linger at the different areas it will take you over an hour to walk through.

Time

About 11:00 A.M. in the morning. Only going once a year I can not really say the best time it see the best activity. I just take what is available.

Lighting

Lighting inside the habitat is very good for natural light photos.

Equipment

This was shot with my Canon EOS 80D on June 28th, 2018. Photo info-f/5 at 1/500, ISO 4000, 300mm, Shutter Priority, Metering Mode "Pattern".

Inspiration

Just look and see how he was just watching the people going by. No cares just chillin'.

Editing

Very little, just a little enhancing and very little saturation to bring out the orange.

In my camera bag

At this time I had all Canon equipment but within the last year or so I have changed to Sony. Basically because I like their mirrorless system and the weight factor. Canon just got too heavy to hold steady.

Feedback

My learning over the 60 years now that digital is here is "Shoot 100, keep 1". Very easy to do today, and don't forget to try many different settings to learn what works best for the moment.
