Location
Took this on a family day at the Ft. Worth ZooTime
This was taken around early afternoon around 11amLighting
It’s a zoo so you can get some cool shadows with all the vegitationEquipment
I used a Canon Rebel and a nifty 50Inspiration
Flamingos were the first animal we stopped at and this photo inspired the rest of the dayEditing
I did retouch some a little but mainly just adjusted shadowsIn my camera bag
Sony A7 III, 50 mm and 70-210mmFeedback
Midday light coming straight down works best for this kind of dramatic wildlife. Everything I shoot at zoos is during 11-2 window
