Behind The Lens

Location

This was taken at port Lympne zoo in the uk.. On a behind the scenes photographic tour

Time

2pm

Lighting

Overcast day, so great diffused light

Equipment

Nikon d700 70-200mm nikkor lens

Inspiration

I’ve always wanted a close up head shot of a gorilla..I was told by the keeper I was unlikely to get the important “eye contact” shot...as if this happens the Gorilla will be aggressive towards you..this was the best I could do.

Editing

Tweeked in photoshop enhancing shadow & detail..

In my camera bag

Nikon d700 Nikon d850 Nikon sb610 flash Elinchrom portable lighting
