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 wildlifeLighting
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 lensInspiration
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!
