Location
this photo was shot at the Los Angeles ZooTime
it was captured at Mid-dayLighting
The lighting was harsh as could be as there was white concrete all over the monkey enclosure.Equipment
It was shot using a Canon 50D and a 100-400mm L lensesInspiration
What inspired me was the expression on this monkey. It was like all these people were staring at him so he was going to stare back. He was sitting like that for the longest time. I made me feel sad for him.Editing
There was quite a bit post-processing done in both PS CC and Topaz Studio. I really couldn't list it all. As I said the light was really bad so that had to be addressed. Then the concrete in front of him was changed out to the log and grass. The background was changed out to a textureIn my camera bag
Canon 5D Mark III and L lensesFeedback
My advice to shooting at a Zoo is take the shot and the deal with it in post to make it something usable. Always take the shot!
