Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo on a cruise out of Seward, Alaska.

Time

This was mid-morning where the light was just at the right angle to illuminate the water and wildlife

Lighting

It was very helpful that it was not mid-day sunshine because it didn’t wash out the subject. My favorite times of day especially for wildlife photography is morning and early evening.

Equipment

This photo was taken with my original camera a d3400 with a 200-500mm zoom lens

Inspiration

This little guy was just hanging out next to the boat cleaning his face and grinning away! Everyone on the boat was cracking up over his hilarious antics!

Editing

This was a rare occasion where not a lot of post-processing was required. One of the things I love about Alaska is the natural turquoise color of the water which so perfectly offsets wildlife.

In my camera bag

I never go anywhere without my standard lens and body and my zoom lens. Every time I think I won’t see any distant wildlife and that I’ll save the weight by not bringing it I always regret it!

Feedback

Go explore! Take that hike! Take a cruise! Visit someplace new!
