Location
Grand Teton National Park, northeast of Cunningham Cabin in Antelope FlatsTime
September morning, 8-9 AMLighting
The sky was bright with just a few clouds, I was losing my golden hour morning light quickly. It turned out to be a good thing that light was still coming in at a strong angle thus creating a nice shadow on his face.Equipment
Nikon D600, hand heldInspiration
Bison have great heads, I was intentional this morning about shooting bison.Editing
After bringing a little exposure balance to the shot, I cropped the shot for just the head and the one eye.In my camera bag
I try to keep it simple; my camera, a few lenses, filters and tripod for low light conditions.Feedback
Have a game plan before you go out to shoot; what do you want to capture, what lighting can you anticipate, what is the sky doing, do I have the right equipment? Then be flexible along the way; look for great subjects and lighting.
